Sigma announces 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS 'Sports' lens for E and L mounts
ÔÎÒÎ: dpreview.com

Sigma has announced its 150-600 F5-6. 3 DG DN OS 'Sports' lens for full-frame Sony E and Panasonic/Sigma/Leica L-mount bodies. This superzoom lens is comprised of 25 elements in 15 groups, including 4 'FLD' (low dispersion glass similar to fluorite) and 2 'SLD' (special low dispersion) elements, as well as a 'Super Multi-Layer coating' that reduces flare and ghosting.

The focus elements are driven by a stepping motor. The built-in optical image stabilizer can reduce shake by up to a claimed four stops.

The 150-600 is splash and dust resistant, and the front element features a fluorine coating to repel oil and water. It also features a unique zoom torque switch. It can be set to locked, tight or smooth. Tight offers some resistance and prevents 'zoom creep'. Smooth has little resistance and lets you zoom by rotating the ring or by using the push/pull method by grabbing the rubberized ring at the front of the lens just beyond the zoom ring. The minimum focus distance is 58cm (22. 8") and the maximum magnification is 0. 34x.

The lens has three AF-L buttons, as well as switches for turning stabilization on/off and selecting from three focus distance limiters. A customizable switch is also on hand. The tripod collar features an integrated Arca Swiss-compatible plate and easily moves in 90° increments. The lens accepts 95mm filters.

The Sigma 150-600mm F5-6. 3 will be available later this month for $1499.

[Key features]

1. Uncompromising optical performance throughout the zoom range

The SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6. 3 DG DN OS | Sports offers outstanding optical performance throughout its zoom range and at all apertures, yielding professional quality results.

Based on the latest optical design technology, its lens construction of 25 elements in 15 groups includes a range of special types of high-performance glass that ensures thorough control of different types of aberrations. This helps give images the resolution and clearest detail—not only at the tele end around 600mm, which is critical for an ultra-telephoto zoom, but also throughout its entire zoom range—with no compromise. The lens was designed with image quality in the out-of-focus areas in mind as well, with attractive compression and beautiful bokeh for creating eye-catching images that can only be achieved with a long focal length.

Through improvements to the optical and mechanical designs as well as extensive simulated testing, the lens has achieved high resistance to ghosting and flare. This helps ensure sharp and high-contrast images even in strong sunlight or in backlit conditions.

At the wide end of 150mm, the lens has an impressive minimum focusing distance of 58 cm. On the L-Mount, the use of two dedicated teleconverters will allow you to shoot with AF up to 1200mm. With these features, this new ultra-telephoto lens is the perfect tool for tackling a broad range of shooting situations, giving you a greater freedom in your choice of composition.


2. Fast, high-precision AF and impressive functionality

The 150-600mm F5-6. 3 DG DN OS | Sports comes with the pro-level functionality that defines the SIGMA Sports line lens, which is designed for capturing fast-action subjects.

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

The OS function delivers effective image stabilization that offers an advantage of approximately 4 stops*, which is ideal for hand-held shooting at slower shutter speeds. It is possible to change the OS settings using the OS switch and Custom Mode switch to best suit the shooting situation. The lens has a Focus Limiter switch offering three-zone AF modification, which helps to speed up AF performance, and on the L-Mount it is possible to set a custom focusing limit via the SIGMA USB DOCK. The lens also has three AFL buttons to which you can assign various functions on the camera side depending on the model of camera used. This ensures that key settings are able to be customized to suit your shooting style and be accessed easily so that you can adapt quickly to changing conditions. With the fast and high-precision AF, 4 stops* image stabilization, and a wide range of customizable functionality that comes with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6. 3 DG DN OS | Sports, the creative possibilities are limitless.

* Based on CIPA guidelines (measured in 600mm with a 35mm full-size image sensor)

3. Outstanding build quality optimized for ultra-telephoto photography

The 150-600mm F5-6. 3 DG DN OS | Sports combines the build quality that upholds the SIGMA Sports line standards with excellent operability, taking into account different shooting environments and modes of operation expected with an ultra-telephoto lens.

A dust and splash resistant structure that stops water drops or dust from getting into the lens, combined with a water and oil repellent coating applied to the front element, gives you a peace of mind even in a harsh shooting environment.

The lens features a Dual Action Zoom, which supports both straight zoom and ring zoom, allowing you to change the angle of view in a quick and intuitive way. In addition, there is also a newly incorporated Zoom Torque switch, with which you can change the resistance of the zoom ring and lock it at the wide end, ensuring ease of zoom operation as well as elimination of zoom creep.

On the lens body there is a magnesium tripod socket attachable to an Arca Swiss type clamp. The foot is removable and may be replaced with an optional lens foot (replaceable lens foot type) or mounted on a monopod.

The lens body uses parts made of aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), where they are most suitable. TSC is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminum, ensuring the lens behaves consistently at different temperatures. By taking advantage of its design intended exclusively for mirrorless camera systems, the lens is both robust*.
