Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens for Sony E-Mount

Stable High Optical Performance

Sigma employed the latest optical design to effectively correct chromatic aberrations that tend to occur in the ultra-telephoto range using a variety of high-quality materials, including FLD and SLD glass elements. The lens is capable of capturing every moment with uncompromising high image quality in the unique focal length range of 60-600mm. The minimum focusing distance is 45cm at the wide end, and at the focal length of 200mm, the lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.4, allowing users to also enjoy the lens as a telephoto macro lens, adding to its overall versatility.

New OS2 (Optical Stabilizer) Algorithm

The new algorithm significantly improves image stabilization performance, with 7 stops at the wide end and 6 stops at the telephoto end. ^* This allows the lens to capture powerful and dynamic moments with a rich sense of motion. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for general shooting, and Mode 2 is best suited for fast panning shots, for example in motorsports and other dynamic situations. In Mode 2, an acceleration sensor combined with SIGMA’s Intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed for panning shots, enable effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal and vertical orientation of the lens. This means that the movement of the subject can be expressed without losing the effect of panning shots.

High-response Linear Actuator

This high-output linear motor and advanced electronic control realize a quiet autofocus with unparalleled high speed and high precision. The new motor also enables high focus-following performance, ensuring that the decisive moment is not missed in sports photography and any other situation where the subjects are in motion, from motor vehicles to birds in flight.

Dust & Splash Resistant Structure

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. Further, the front element of the lens features a water and oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere to the lens.

The new OS2 algorithm provides up to 7 stops of stabilization at the wide end and 6 stops at the telephoto end, significantly improving handheld performance.

3. Can I use this lens for macro photography?

While primarily an ultra-telephoto lens, it offers excellent tele-macro capabilities with a minimum focusing distance of 45cm at the wide end and a 1:2.4 magnification ratio at 200mm.

4. What is the difference between OS Mode 1 and Mode 2?

Mode 1 is designed for general shooting, while Mode 2 uses an acceleration sensor and Intelligent OS for fast panning shots, making it ideal for motorsports and tracking moving subjects.

5. Is the tripod collar removable?

Yes, the lens features an interchangeable Arca Swiss-compatible magnesium alloy tripod socket that can be removed, replaced, or attached to a monopod.

How to Use / Care Instructions

* Mounting: Align the white index mark on the lens with the corresponding mark on your Sony E-Mount camera body and twist until it clicks into place.

* Stabilization Modes: Use the switch on the lens barrel to select OS Mode 1 for standard handheld shooting or OS Mode 2 when panning to track moving subjects.

* Tripod Use: For extended shoots or heavy setups, utilize the built-in Arca Swiss-compatible tripod socket to mount the lens directly to your tripod or monopod, reducing strain on the camera mount.

* Cleaning: Use a blower to remove loose dust from the glass. The front element features a water and oil-repellent coating, allowing you to gently wipe away smudges or water droplets with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

* Storage: Always attach the front and rear lens caps when not in use. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture buildup.
