Product Description
-------------------
The first hyper-telephoto zoom lens from our Contemporary line
for better usability.
On the one hand, the product concept of the SIGMA 150-600mm
F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is to achieve the best optical and
action-capture performance to meet the requirements of
professional photographers. On the other hand, that of the SIGMA
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary is to achieve a
lightweight and compact construction for higher usability with
similar specifications. It has put a special emphasis on its
optical performance by incorporation of 1 FLD and 3 SLD glass
elements, optimisation of lens power distribution and minimised
chromatic aberration. The dust- and splash-proof construction
facilitate photography in the field and the detachable tripod
socket offers more convenience for handheld photography.
By incorporating excellent optical glass elements, it minimises
chromatic aberration and achieves class leading image quality.
This lens incorporates 1 FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass element,
which has performance equal to fluorite, and 3 SLD (Special Low
Dispersion) glass elements which improve overall sharpness and
compensate for chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration in
particular, which could be visible especially towards the
telephoto-end even when stopped down, is corrected by the
optimised design of glass elements including the FLD lens. The
Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides
sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.
Lightweight and compact construction for higher usability
Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, it is
more compact and lightweight, enabling easy handling and making
it possible to do handheld photography for a longer period of
time. The tripod socket is detachable so that the lens can be
carried by itself. Without the tripod socket, it also fits well
into limited space for storage. Moreover, the tripod socket is
made of magnesium which is light and strong at the same time. The
tripod socket may be detached and replaced with a rubber
protective cover PT-11 to further reduce weight and make handheld
photography an even more lightweight and convenient experience.
This lens is the optimal choice for photographers who desire
hyper-telephoto functionality while staying light on their feet.
Intelligent OS featuring updated algorithm
The OS (Optical Stabilizer) function features an acceleration
sensor to ensure even higher precision. Two OS modes are
available: Mode 1 for general photography and Mode 2 for motor
sports and other applications requiring panning. In Mode 2, the
acceleration sensor teams up with the Intelligent OS and its
updated stabilisation algorithm to deliver effective
stabilisation while you move the camera horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally-regardless of the position of the lens. This
feature helps ensure effective panning and outstanding capture of
moving subjects.
Zoom lock switch can be set at any focal length
The new zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at
any marked focal length. It can be fixed at the photographer's
desirable focal length, which allows stable shooting whether the
lens is positioned upward or downward. It also helps during long
exposure photography.
Water and oil-repellent coating ensures a pleasant photography
experience
The forefront lenses incorporate a water and oil-repellent
coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents
oil and from sticking to the surface, even in challenging
shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the
lens surface becomes easier.
Dust-proof and splash-proof
As with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM from the Sports
line, the lens incorporates a rubber sealing to protect the
part from dust and water drops.
Quieter and Faster "Optimized AF"
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF. With
the further enhanced AF algorithm compared to previous models,
continuous AF (AF-C) improves the focusing efficiency by
approximately 5%.
Manual override incorporated to make two full-time manual modes
switchable.
In addition to AF/MF, MO (Manual Override) is incorporated as one
of the options of the focus mode switch. By setting it to the MO
position, it switches to manual focus by rotating the focus ring
even during continuous AF. With AF position, standard full-time
manual focus is available. Using the optional SIGMA USB DOCK, it
is possible to adjust the MO position's sensitivity to switch to
manual focus.
Incorporating Rounded Diaphragm
The 9 blade-rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the
out-of-focus areas of the image.
