Ultra-telephoto zoom lens with the optical performance and brightness of a prime lens

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports extends the capabilities of a 600mm F4 prime lens with the freedom to zoom out all the way to 300mm without compromising optical performance.

Its inner zoom mechanism minimises centre of gravity fluctuations throughout the entire zoom range, making it a versatile and easy-to-use tool for an unprecedented range of shooting situations.

Extremely high optical performance

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features 28 lens elements in 21 groups, including 6 FLD and 1 SLD glass elements, anomalous dispersion glass, and high refractive index glass.

Its optical design provides excellent correction of various optical aberrations, such as chromatic aberration, throughout the entire zoom range.

Although a zoom lens, the Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports delivers the unparalleled optical performance of a prime lens.

HLA-driven high-speed AF

Despite its large aperture of F4, the Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a lightweight focus lens group thanks to the use of a high-thrust HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, optimised optical power arrangement and state-of-the-art glass materials. The result is a high-speed autofocus functionality with outstanding accuracy.

Powerful optical stabilisation function driven by the OS2 algorithm

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports delivers exceptional optical stabilisation of 5.5 stops at 600mm.

Powered by Sigma’s sophisticated OS2 algorithm and featuring a drive unit with a specially designed actuator and high-precision sensor, this lens effortlessly meets the demands of a large-aperture ultra-telephoto.

Additionally, photographers have the choice between two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for most still photography and video situations, while Mode 2 was specially designed for panning shots. Driven by Sigma’s Intelligent OS algorithm, this mode stabilises the image during horizontal, vertical, or diagonal movements, regardless of the camera’s orientation, enabling photographers to capture moving subjects with professional precision.

Combines high robustness and mobility

The lens barrel is made of magnesium alloy for the main parts and the hood is made of carbon, achieving both high robustness and light weight. In addition, the optical design with the centre of gravity toward the camera greatly improves the weight balance, which tends to be front-heavy.

Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance

The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather, such as nature or motorsports photography.

Function ring

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a function ring that further expands the options of the lens. The focus ring offers two different modes, selected via its setting switch:

Focus Preset Mode: By turning the function ring to the left or right, the focus can be instantly shifted to a pre-registered focus position. This is useful when frequently shooting at a fixed focus position.

Power Focus Mode: Focusing at a constant speed is possible by operating the function ring. This allows for smooth focus shift during movie shooting as well as for focusing with minimal movement when shooting hand-held. Focusing speed can be changed in two steps depending on the angle at which the function ring is operated.

Durable and easy-to-handle tripod socket

The tripod socket’s rotating mechanism uses bearings for both high durability and smooth rotation with an optional click/de-click mechanism for each 90° angle to assist in accuracy. The tripod socket foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps, but can be easily removed and replaced with different interchangeable tripod sockets (available separately) to suit a variety of situations and preferences.

Equipped with a drop-in filter holder

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a drop-in filter holder for standard ø40.5mm filters. In addition, Sigma has developed a new drop-in circular polarising filter and a variable ND filter (available separately) that can be adjusted by approximately 7-stops while dropped into the lens.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at our 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.
