Outstanding optical performance

The lens is constructed with 27 elements in 19 groups, including 2 FLD and 3 SLD elements, which are high-performance glass designed to help correct chromatic aberration, a common optical issue on ultra-telephoto lenses. The lens delivers edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire zoom range and at all apertures. The minimum focusing distance is 45cm at the wide end, and at 200mm the lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.4, allowing users to capture highly detailed macro-style shots, adding to its overall versatility.

All-new ultra-fast AF motor

The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS I Sports is the first Sigma lens to be fitted with the company’s newly developed High-response Linear Actuator motor (HLA). This high-output AF motor with advanced electronic control delivers a very quiet autofocus performance with unparalleled speed and precision. The new motor also enables exceptional focus-following performance, which is important for fast-action photographers where the perfect shot can come and go in a split second.

Improved Optical Stabilizer

The lens’ in-built Optical Stabilizer (OS) function employs Sigma’s newly developed OS2 algorithm. This significantly improves image stabilization performance, giving an incredible 7-stop advantage at the wide end and a 6-stop advantage at the telephoto end. This allows photographers to achieve sharp results when working hand-held in lower light conditions.

The OS function has two modes. Mode 1 is ideal for general shooting, and Mode 2 is designed for panning, which makes it ideal for tracking moving subjects such as vehicles, aircraft, and birds. Mode 2 works by combining an acceleration sensor with Sigma’s Intelligent OS software to enable effective stabilization except in the panning direction, giving a smoother viewfinder image and easier tracking.

Advanced feature set designed for professional use

Part of Sigma’s Sports line of lenses the Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS I Sports comes equipped with a range of professional-grade features designed for professional use. Manufactured at Sigma’s sole production base in Aizu in Japan, the 60-600mm has a very high-quality construction that combines robustness with a high level of precision and attention to detail.

The lens features a multi-material structure that includes magnesium, CFRP1, and TSC2, which are optimally arranged according to their characteristics. As a result, the lens barrel is lighter in weight than Sigma’s existing 60-600mm, while retaining the same robustness, providing high versatility for a wide variety of environments.

Dual Action Zoom and Zoom Lock Switch

To offer photographers both speed and accuracy when focusing, the lens features Dual Action Zoom, where zooming in and out is possible either by rotating the zoom ring or simply by pushing or pulling the end of the lens. This allows photographers to adapt quickly to fast-changing scenes. A zoom lock switch is built-in into the lens to stop zoom creep.

Focus Limiter Switch: Equipped with a Focus Limiter switch, users can limit the focus range during autofocus for more precise results.
