Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary For Nikon F

A lightweight hyper-telephoto zoom lens featuring high usability and outstanding optical performance. The Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary For Nikon F highly functional 150-600mm focal length can be applied to a vast range of photographic subjects, all captured through Sigma’s legendary Contemporary glass.

Contemporary to a T

The SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary is a lightweight and compact construction. It has put a special emphasis on its optical performance by the incorporation of 1 FLD and 3 SLD glass elements, optimisation of the lens power distribution and minimised chromatic aberration of magnification.

What matters most with a hyper-telephoto zoom lens is the image quality at the telephoto end, and this offers brilliant performance. In addition, distortion throughout the entire focal range is well compensated. In order to make it a hyper-telephoto zoom lens mobile enough for handheld shooting in the field, it is dust and splash-proof and incorporates a detachable tripod socket for higher usability.

Anti-Aberration

By incorporating excellent optical glass elements the lens minimises chromatic aberration and achieves class-leading image quality. An FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass element and 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements compensate for colour aberration.

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.

Lightweight and Compact

Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, this lens 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 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.

Zoom Lock

The zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at any 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.

Intelligent OS

The OS (Optical Stabiliser) function features an acceleration sensor to ensure even higher precision. Two OS modes are available: Mode 1 for general photography and Mode 2 for motorsports 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.

Quiet and Fast Autofocus

The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet autofocus. With the further enhanced AF algorithm compared to previous models, continuous AF (AF-C) improves the focusing efficiency by approximately 5%.

Manual Override

In addition to AF/MF, MO (Manual Override) is incorporated as one of the options for 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 the 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.

Brass-Made Bayonet Mount

This lens incorporates a brass bayonet mount that has both high accuracy and durability. A special treatment to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term use. The mount is also dust and splashproof

Minimal Flare

Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. It provides sharp and high-contrast images throughout the entire zoom range.

Attractive Bokeh

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas of the image.
