Key features

. Outstanding optical performanceThe SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN | Sports delivers exceptional optical quality capable of meeting thedemands of professional fast-action photographers and film-makers. The lens is constructed with 27 elementsin 19 groups. This includes 2 FLD and 3 SLD elements, which is high performance glass designed to help correctchromatic aberration, a optical issue often visible on ultra-telephoto lenses. The lens delivers edge-to-edgesharpness 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 maximummagnification ratio of 1:2.4, allowing users to capture highly detailed macro-style shots, adding to its overallversatility.All-new ultra-fast AF motorThe 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports is the first Sigma lens to be fitted with the company’s newlydeveloped High-response Linear Actuator motor (HLA). This high-output AF motor with advanced electroniccontrol deliver a very quiet autofocus performance with unparalleled speed and precision.The new motor also enables exceptional focus-following performance, which is important feature for fast-action photographers where the perfect shot can come and go in a split second.Improved Optical StabilizerThe lens’ in-built Optical Stabilizer (OS) function employs Sigma’s newly developed OS2 algorithm. Thissignificantly improves image stabilisation performance, giving an incredible 7-stop advantage at the wide endand a 6-stop advantage at the telephoto end. This allows photographers to achieve sharp results when workinghand-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, whichmakes it ideal for tracking moving subjects such as vehicles, aircraft and birds. Mode 2 works by combining anacceleration sensor with Sigma’s Intelligent OS software to enable effective stabilisation except in the panningdirection, giving a smoother viewfinder image and easier tracking . Advanced feature-set designed for professional use . Part of Sigma’s Sports line of lenses the 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports comes equipped with a rangeof professional-grade features designed for professional use. Manufactured at Sigma’s sole production base inAizu in Japan, the 60-600mm has a very high quality construction that combines robustness with a high level ofprecision and attention to detail.The lens features a multi-material structure that includes magnesium, CFRP*1, and TSC*2, which are optimallyarranged according to their characteristics. As a result, the lens barrel is lighter in weight that Sigma’s existing60-600mm, while retaining the same robustness, providing high versatility for a wide variety of environments.To offer photographers both speed and accuracy when focusing, the lens features Dual Action Zoom, wherezooming in and out is possible either by rotating the zoom ring or simply by pushing or pulling the end of thelens. This allows photographers to adapt quickly to fast-changing scenes. A zoom lock switch is built in to thelens to stop zoom creep.Equipped with a Focus Limiter switch, users canlimit the focus range during AF for more preciseresults. Three AFL buttons on the body of the lenscan be customised to a wide range of preferredfunctions via the camera menu4*. The AFL buttonsare easy to operate regardless of how the camera isoriented or which settings are used. On the L-Mountversion, the SIGMA USB DOCK UD-11 can be used toset OS operation or the focus limiter range.The lens body incorporates an Arca Swiss-compatible magnesium alloy tripod socket. Theleg can be removed and replaced with otherinterchangeable tripod sockets (sold separately).A lens hood is included and equipped with a lockmechanism. A rubber grip makes it easier to attachand remove the hood and zoom in and out usingpush-pull zoom.The L-Mount version of the lens is compatible withthe SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1411 (1.4x) and TC-2011 (2.0x), allowing AF-enabled shooting at ultra-telephoto focal lengths of up to 1200mm.The mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, switches, switch panel and exterior connection are alldust and splash resistant*3 to prevent dust and dirt from entering the lens. In addition, the front elementfeatures a water- and oil-repellent coating to make the element easier to clean when it gets wet or dirty.
