Ultra-telephoto power in a compact package

Designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, 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.

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.

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.

The 150-600mm DG DN sits in the Sports line-up, which means it is designed to withstand

Professional feature-set

A range of controls on the lens include an AF/MF switch, an AFL button, and Optical Stabilizer switch, and a Custom Mode switch so that the lens set-up can be customised.

The lens also has a Focus Limiter so that the focusing range can be reduced for faster and more accurate operation. This is particularly useful when there are objects in the frame between the camera and the subject that the lens might attempt to focus on. 

Introduced to this lens is the Zoom Torque function, which allows photographers to change the

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.

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. 

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.

Two ultra-telephoto zoom options

SIGMA has two ultra-telephoto zooms in its range for mirrorless cameras – the 60-600mm and the 150-600mm. Both sit in the Sports line-up of lenses, so are both weather-sealed and come with a wide range of professional features. The 150-600mm is significantly lighter, albeit with a shorter zoom range, so may be better suited to photographers and film-makers needing a more portable option that can be carried around and used hand-held more easily.

Compatible with teleconverters

SIGMA has two teleconverters that are compatible with the L-Mount version of the lens. The TC-1411 1.4x converter (produces 84-840mm) and the TC-2011 2x converter (produces 120-1200mm). Both converters work with full AF.

Made in Aizu

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.

Sigma chose Aizu as its main production base in the
