Image quality improvements

Cameras have more megapixels than when the first 150-600mm lens was released, and cameras have mostly become mirrorless.

This has been a good starting point for the renewal of the optical structure, the image sharpness is now better but the size of the lens and especially the weight have been kept under control. This DG DN version is 760g lighter than the previous version.

In addition to the sharpness, the geometric distortions in the image have also been better corrected. According to initial tests, the lens performs well with high-resolution cameras such as the Sigma fp L or Panasonic S1R.

The Sigma 150-600mm DG DN also features a new autofocus system.

Usability improvements

This 160-600mm super telephoto is often used for fast-paced sports and nature photography and needs to be easy to use. Sigma has made several handy improvements and features.

• Three-position switch for zoom
• Weatherproof structure
• Arca-swiss compatible tripod collar (no quick release plate needed!)
• 90-degree settings on the tripod collar, so you can quickly get vertical shots
• Works with 1.4X and 2X teleconverters
• Reasonable 95mm filter thread
  
  

The zoom's friction clutch has three different positions : lock, smooth, tight. Lock is the actual transport position. Even with the Tight setting, there is no leakage when carrying, and with the Smooth setting, the zoom mechanism is so sensitive that the lens works as a pump zoom! That is, instead of rotating, you can pull and push the front of the lens and the focal length changes. This allows you to react quickly to changing situations.

The Sigma 150-600mm DG DN lens has three programmable AF-L buttons on the side, which you can use to lock focus or control the camera, for example, activating EyeAF eye focus.

A sturdy lens hood is included. The edge of the lens hood is rubber, which allows you to place the camera and lens on the ground during long shooting sessions. The rubber surface increases grip on smooth surfaces and protects against impacts.

Like the lenses in the Sports series, Sigma's 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS is weather and dust protected.
