Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports lens for Sony FE 

This versatile ultra-telephoto zoom is ideal for professional sports, wildlife, aviation and motorsport photography.

Sitting in Sigma’s Sports line-up, the lens has a dust- and splash-resistant structure and a special water and oil-repellent coating on the front element, so is well-suited to use in outdoor environments.

• Aperture Range: f/5 to f/22
• Four FLD Elements, Two SLD Elements
• Super Multi-Layer Coating
• OS and Custom Mode Switch
• Dual Action Zoom System
• OS Image Stabilisation
• Zoom Torque Switch, Arca-Type Foot
• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
• Durable Brass Bayonet Mount

The lens’s sophisticated optical design, which is made up of 25 elements including 4 FLD elements and 2 SLD elements, delivers exceptional image quality, with razor-sharp results at all apertures with very minimal chromatic aberration and well-controlled flare.

The wide F5-6.3 maximum aperture ensures fast shutter speeds in low light and a shallow depth-of-field to help isolate the subject.

The lens boasts an impressive feature-set, including intelligent two-mode Optical Stabilizer, a rotatable tripod socket, a torque zoom function, three AFL buttons, two custom modes, a focus limiter and dual action zoom. This combination of powerful optics and advanced features makes the 150-600mm one of the versatile and popular ultra-telephoto mirrorless zooms on the market.

Lightning-fast AF tracking

With an AF actuator controlled by a stepping motor, the lens combines fast and quiet autofocus with excellent tracking of moving objects. A high-precision magnetic sensor enables highly accurate positioning. This is particularly impressive on an ultra-telephoto lens where the focus lens has to move a significant distance.

Excellent close-focusing ability

The 150-600mm has a magnification ratio of 1:2.9, which is very impressive for a long telephoto lens. The minimum focusing distance is just 58cm (at 180mm), making it possible to shoot detailed close-ups of smaller objects.

At home in extreme conditions

Thanks to its weather-sealing the 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports can be used in dusty or wet environments without the risk of internal damage. The lens is partly constructed from a polycarbonate called TSC. This has a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminium, ensuring the lens behaves consistently at extreme temperatures. Its rugged build makes it suitable for heavy professional use.

High-performance optics

The 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | S delivers outstanding optical quality, with excellent rendering of detail right into the corners at all focal lengths and at all apertures.

The lens has an advanced optical design made up of 25 elements in 15 groups, including 2 SLD elements and 4 FLD elements. These ensure razor-sharp results and help to eliminate chromatic aberration, flare, distortion and vignetting.

The lens has advanced optical coatings which reduce flare and ghosting when working in bright direct sunlight, creating high contrast images with rich colours and strong blacks.

Outstanding build quality

The exterior barrel of the 150-600mm is constructed of aluminium alloy and a polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), which are both strong and light and expand or contract at the around same rate as temperatures change. The use of these materials is carefully optimised to maximise durability and strength while keeping weight to a minimum.

The zoom and focus rings are rubberised for easier operation, and the zoom ring can be locked at various positions using the Zoom Lock switch. The included lens hood is strong and light and has a rubber grip at the end for easy fitting and removal.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at their sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.
