Overview
The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Zoom - Nikon F Mount is a 10x hyper-telephoto zoom lens that achieves the same level of high image quality as the SIGMA 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Zoom (sold separately). Featuring 25 elements in 19 groups, consistent image quality is achieved throughout the entire zoom range.
This lens also incorporates Intelligent Optical Stabilization1, adopting the latest algorithm to deliver an image stabilization effect of 4 stops2. The high-speed AF, thanks to the HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) with an updated algorithm, captures instantaneous movement in photography.
High Optical Quality
This lens incorporates (3) FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements and (1) SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element to provide excellent correction of magnification chromatic aberration encountered in hyper-telephoto shooting. This offers both high resolution and consistent edge to edge performance through the entire zoom range. In addition, when shooting at a focal length of 200mm, the SIGMA 60-600mm can also be used for telephoto macro photography, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3, thanks to its high rendering performance.
Multi-Material Design for Portability & Durability
To achieve comfortable handling required for a 10x zoom lens while maintaining high optical quality, the SIGMA 60-600mm incorporates multi-material, such as magnesium, CFRP3, and TSC4. The use of these superior materials in the right place reduces the weight of the overall lens to enhance portability and ensure durability.
Designed for Sports Photographers
The zooming mechanism has been engineered to make both smooth rotation and straight zoom possible. In addition, the dust and splash-proof structure ensures safe use even in the most challenging shooting conditions. Together with the water and oil-repellent coating on the front lens, this lens is designed to meet the requirements of professional photographers.
Features:
- Optional tele converters designed to match the current lens lineup can be attached
- The addition of SIGMA's optional Tele Converter TC-1401 or TC-2001 (both sold separately) produces an AF* 84-840mm f/6.3-9 hyper-telephoto zoom lens or a MF 120-1200mm f/9-13 hyper-telephoto zoom lens, respectively
- *NOTE: When it is attached to cameras that are compatible with AF at f/8, focus accuracy is not ensured on the telephoto side at the focal length scale more than 300mm
- Tripod socket with high usability
- 90° click stops
- Replaceable lens foot
- Compatible with Arca Swiss type clamps (with stopper screw)
- CFRP Hood
- Equipped with a focus limiter
- Manual Override (MO) capable of switching two full-time manual modes
- By setting it to the MO position, it switches to manual focus by rotating the focus ring even during continuous AF
- Using the optional SIGMA USB Dock (sold separately), it is possible to adjust the MO position's sensitivity to switch to manual focus
- Zoom Lock switch can be set to all marked focal lengths
- Nikon electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism included
- Compatible with SIGMA Mount Converter MC-11 (sold separately)
- Mount Conversion Available
- Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
- Evaluation with SIGMA's own MTF measuring system: A1
- 9-blade rounded iris diaphragm
- Made in Japan
1 In Mode 2, the movements of subjects can be captured without losing panning effects thanks to the image stabilization function even when the camera is moved horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—regardless of the position of the lens.
2 Based on CIPA guidelines (Measured in 600mm with a 35mm full-size image sensor)High optical quality that meets the most stringent needs of professional photographers.
3 Carbon fiber reinforced plastic, a light but strong material used in the interior and exterior fittings of aircraft, among many other applications.
4 Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) offers thermal expansion characteristics similar to those of aluminum. Since parts made with TSC expand and contract less due to changes in temperature, they tend to perform better under extreme conditions and help maintain the performance of the lens. TSC also offers outstanding elasticity. Compared to polycarbonate containing 20% glass, TSC offers approximately 70% higher elasticity. Compared to polycarbonate containing 30% glass, it offers 25% higher elasticity. (Comparison is between SIGMA-produced components.)
