The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens for Canon EF-mount offers an impressive telephoto zoom range, making it an ideal choice for wildlife, sports, and long-distance photography. As part of Sigma’s Global Vision Contemporary series, this lens strikes an excellent balance between optical performance, portability, and ease of use. The lens features one FLD (F Low Dispersion) element and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements that reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range, ensuring high image clarity and color accuracy.
To combat flare and ghosting, the lens also incorporates a Super Multi-Layer Coating, helping to improve contrast and color fidelity even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions. The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) delivers fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus, while the rear focus system and optimized AF algorithm contribute to smoother focusing, perfect for both stills and video. Additionally, the HSM allows full-time manual focus control at any time simply by rotating the focus ring.
The lens is equipped with an Optical Stabilizer (OS) system, which helps reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld, ensuring sharper images. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh, ideal for selective focus techniques. Designed for use in a variety of conditions, the lens has a dust- and splash-resistant build, with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element for easier cleaning.
This lens is compatible with Sigma’s optional teleconverters (TC-1401 1.4x and TC-2001 2x), allowing for even greater focal length flexibility. A removable, rotating tripod collar offers added stability for tripod or monopod use, with the ability to switch between vertical and horizontal orientations.
