Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens for Nikon F

The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens is a versatile telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. The lens is designed specifically for Nikon F-mount cameras, making it compatible with full-frame (FX) Nikon DSLRs. It has a variable maximum aperture, ranging from f/4.5 at the wide end to f/6.3 at the telephoto end. This allows for flexibility in controlling depth of field and shooting in various lighting conditions. The lens construction has three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements and one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element. These elements help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in improved image sharpness and clarity.

A Manual Override (MO) function allows you to make fine adjustments to focus manually, even while in autofocus mode. This provides greater control and precision in focusing. The lens is coated with Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating, which helps minimize lens flare and ghosting. It also contributes to the overall image quality by reducing reflections and improving contrast. It is also constructed with dust- and moisture-sealed materials, making it suitable for use in various challenging weather and environmental conditions. This enhances its durability and reliability in outdoor shooting situations.

Equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), the lens ensures fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance. It also supports full-time manual focus override for making quick adjustments. It features Optical Stabilization (OS) technology, which helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake. This is particularly useful when shooting at longer focal lengths or in low-light conditions.

Removable Arca-Type Tripod Socket: The lens comes with a removable tripod socket that is compatible with Arca-type tripod heads. It offers high usability with 90° click stops for easy switching between horizontal and vertical orientations. The lens foot is also replaceable. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh (out-of-focus areas) in your images.

This lens is compatible with the Nikon electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism, allowing for accurate and consistent aperture control when using compatible Nikon DSLRs. It is also compatible with Sigma teleconverters, allowing you to extend the focal length of the lens. It is also compatible with the Sigma USB Dock, which enables easy firmware updates and fine-tuning of lens parameters via a computer.

The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens offers a wide focal length range and a range of features that make it well-suited for shooting sports, wildlife, and other distant subjects. Its ability to switch between autofocus and full-time manual focus, along with its optical performance and durable build, makes it a versatile choice for Nikon photographers in need of a telephoto zoom lens.

Product Features in Detail

High optical quality meeting the most stringent needsof professional photographers
This lens incorporates three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements and one 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 the focal length of 200mm, the SIGMA 60–600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports can also be used for telephoto macro photography, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3, thanks to its high rendering performance.

Incorporating multi-material toachieve both portability and durability
To achieve comfortable handling required for a 10x zoom lens while maintaining high optical quality, the SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports incorporates multi-material, such as magnesium, CFRP*, and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite). The use of these superior materials in the right place reduces the weight of the overall lens to enhance portability and ensure durability.
* Carbon fiber reinforced plastic, a light but strong material used in the interior and exterior fittings of aircraft, among many other applications.

Water- and oil-repellent coating
The front lens element incorporates 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.

Dust and Splash Resistant Structure*
This lens features a highly effective dust and splash resistant structure* with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection, allowing photographers to work in all types of weather.
* Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof.

Intelligent OS
This lens incorporates Intelligent OS adopting the latest algorithm to deliver an image stabilization effect of 4 stops.

High-speed AF
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF.

Tripod socket
Tripod socket with high usability
– With 90° click stops
– Replaceable lens foot
– Compatible with Arca Swiss type clamps

Tele Converters
Tele Converters that are designed to match the current lens lineup (optional) can be attached.
* The addition of SIGMA’s TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 or TELE CONVERTER TC-2001 produces an AF 84-840mm F6.3-9 hyper-telephoto zoom lens or a MF 120-1200mm F9-13 hyper-telephoto zoom lens respectively.
* When it is attached to cameras that are compatible with AF at F8, focus accuracy is not ensured on the telephoto side at the focal length scale more than 300mm.

Manual override (MO)
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, it is possible to adjust the MO position’s sensitivity to switch to manual focus.

SIGMA 600mm hyper-telephoto zoom lens lineup accommodates diverse shooting styles
The arrival of the 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports expands the lineup of SIGMA’s 600mm zooms to three lenses. The SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is “versatile”, focusing on high image quality and mobility, demonstrating superior coverage from a standard focal length to a hyper-telephoto range without switching to another lens. The 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is composed of many metal parts aiming at a “robust” structure. The lineup of these two Sports line lenses that can meet the most stringent needs of professionals, together with the Contemporary line’s “lightweight” 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary, which reduces weight and makes the shooting experience even more comfortable and convenient, SIGMA undoubtedly satisfies the diverse shooting styles of photographers.

Ease-of-use specifications
Instead of conventional ABS plastic, the exclusive lens hood features CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), a light but strong material used in the interior and exterior fittings of aircraft, among many other applications. The Arca-Swiss tripod socket is compatible with Arca-Swiss platforms and clamps.

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.

High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.

Nikon electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism included
The Nikon mount version of this lens includes an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism that allows it to receive the appropriate signals from the camera body. This feature ensures precision diaphragm control and stable Auto Exposure (AE) performance during continuous shooting.

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