Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens - Sony E-mount

The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras is a high performance, rugged and versatile lens that is perfect for sports, wildlife, motor sport and aviation photographers. It is the world’s first 10x ultra-telephoto zoom lens for mirrorless cameras. This lens offers outstanding image quality, a dust and splashproof construction, a newly developed focus motor for lightning-fast AF, and improved stabilisation that offers up to 7 stops advantage hand-held.

Optical performance
The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN | Sports is constructed with 27 elements in 19 groups. This includes 2 FLD and 3 SLD elements, which is high performance glass designed to help correct chromatic aberration. The lens delivers edge-to-edge sharpness 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 maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.4, allowing users to capture highly detailed macro-style shots, adding to its overall versatility.

Ultra-fast AF motor
This the first Sigma lens to be fitted with the newly developed high-response Linear Actuator motor (HLA). This high-output AF motor with advanced electronic control deliver a very quiet autofocus performance with unparalleled speed and precision. The new motor also enables exceptional focus-following performance.

Improved optical stabiliser
The lens’ in-built Optical Stabiliser (OS) function employs Sigma’s newly developed OS2 algorithm. This significantly improves image stabilisation performance, giving an incredible 7-stop advantage at the wide end and a 6-stop advantage at the telephoto end. This allows photographers to achieve sharp results when working hand-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, which makes it ideal for tracking moving subjects such as vehicles, aircraft and birds. Mode 2 works by combining an acceleration sensor with Sigma’s Intelligent OS software to enable effective stabilisation except in the panning direction, giving a smoother viewfinder image and easier tracking.

Advanced features
The lens features a multi-material structure that includes magnesium, CFRP, and TSC, which are optimally arranged according to their characteristics. As a result, the lens barrel is lighter in weight that Sigma’s existing 60-600mm, while retaining the same robustness. It features Dual Action Zoom, where zooming in and out is possible either by rotating the zoom ring or simply by pushing or pulling the end of the lens. This allows photographers to adapt quickly to fast-changing scenes. A zoom lock switch is built in to the lens to stop zoom creep.

Equipped with a Focus Limiter switch, users can limit the focus range during AF for more precise results. Three AFL buttons on the body of the lens can be customised to a wide range of preferred functions via the camera menu. The AFL buttons are easy to operate regardless of how the camera is oriented or which settings are used.

Dust and splash resistant
The mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, switches, switch panel and exterior connection are all dust and splash resistant to prevent dust and dirt from entering the lens. In addition, the front element features a water- and oil-repellent coating to make the element easier to clean when it gets wet or dirty.
