Sigma 745101 150 – 600 mm F5 – 6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Canon Mount Lens, Black

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. However, 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 reinforce 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 conceivable 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 even as 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 even as 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 right through 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 fat 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 mount

As with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM from the Sports line, the lens mount incorporates a rubber sealing to offer protection to the mount 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 some of the options of the focal point mode switch. By setting it to the MO position, it switches to manual focus by rotating the focal point ring even right through continuous AF. With AF position, standard full-time manual focus is available. The usage of the optional SIGMA USB DOCK, it is conceivable 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. To use USB Dock, please attach a USB Dock to your lens’ mount part, just like you attach your camera to the lens. Please use the supplied USB Cable and connect to a pc which has the dedicated software “SIGMA Optimization Pro” installed. For further information on how to operate the product, please refer instruction manual of “SIGMA Optimization Pro”.
