Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports telezoom (Nikon)

The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports is a new version of the popular 150-600mm telephoto zoom. The focal length starting at 60 mm makes this lens more versatile than previous lenses, allowing you to fit slightly closer subjects into the frame and you can do without changing lenses in most situations. The lens is designed for full-frame bodies, but is also suitable for APS-C DX cameras. In this case, the equivalent focal length of the lens is a whopping 96-960mm .

The Sigma 60-600mm is a lens from the manufacturer's Sports model series. As the name suggests, the lens is also suitable for faster shooting, and to make handheld shooting easier, the lens has a four-stop image stabilizer. Autofocus is handled by a fast Hyper Sonic Motor.

The Sigma 60-600mm works great in a variety of wildlife and sports photography situations where a long focal length is required. With this lens, you won't be in trouble if a subject, such as a bird or a player on the field, comes closer than planned!
The lens has switches on the side for autofocus distance limiters and image stabilization settings. The lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock, so you can update the lens software and adjust autofocus via a computer.

The Sigma 60-600mm DG OS has a new optical design, consisting of 25 elements in 19 groups. It also features one SLD and three FLD special elements, which reduce chromatic aberrations and ensure sharper images throughout the focal range.

The lens comes with a tripod collar. The tripod collar can be unlocked around the lens and the camera and lens can be easily rotated to shoot portrait or landscape images. The tripod collar is now also Arca-Swiss compatible , so you don't need a quick release plate at all with, for example, the Sirui or 3 Legged Thing ball head! The solution is lighter and more sturdy than a separate quick release plate.

The lens is weather and dust sealed, and the outer lens elements are coated with a dirt-repellent coating. The bayonet is all-metal and made of brass, and there is also a sealing ring around the lens mount.
