Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

Lightweight super-telephoto zoom model with high operability and optical performance.
The first super-telephoto zoom lens in the Contemporary line designed for carrying and long-time hand-held shooting.

The first compact and lightweight super-telephoto zoom lens in the Contemporary line.
Weighing 1,830g, it is ideal for hand-held shooting.

A significantly smaller and lighter lens with the basics of the professional-use Sports line.

Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, this lens is significantly smaller and lighter. The lens can be easily detached from the camera and carried as a stand-alone lens. When the tripod mount is removed, the included rubber cap can be attached to reduce the burden of carrying the lens and support light and smart photography. This is a new proposal for those who want to carry a super-telephoto zoom lens with ease.

Detachable tripod mount

The lens is equipped with a removable tripod mount, making it possible to carry the lens body alone if you wish to reduce the weight. When the tripod mount is removed and the Protective Cover is attached, the weight is 1,830g, reducing the burden of carrying the lens around. The elimination of the tripod stand reduces the number of protrusions, which is also useful when the tripod must be stored in a limited space. The tripod stand itself is made of magnesium, making it both strong and light.

Focusing on mobility and ease of use, the camera has been designed with a full range of specifications.

Even the lightweight model offers a full range of basic functions for a variety of shooting situations.

A high-performance super-telephoto zoom lens that delivers high performance. Although it is a lightweight model that can be easily carried around and used in a variety of shooting situations, it is equipped with the high-performance line "Contemporary," including simplified dustproof and drip-proof performance, zoom lock by focal length index, water and stain repellent coating, MF switch at hand, and a newly designed tripod mount, A newly developed teleconverter (sold separately) that supports AF up to f/8 is also available.

Dustproof and drip-proof mount

As in the Sports line, a rubber sealing is used in the mount section. This protects the mount section, which is the most vulnerable to dust and other contaminants.

Water and stain repellent coating on the lens for comfortable shooting

The front-most lens features a water and stain repellent coating that easily wipes away water droplets and prevents oil and grease from adhering to the lens. In addition to providing comfortable use in harsh conditions, this coating also makes maintenance of the lens surface easier.

Zoom lock switch" that can be set for each major focal length

The new zoom lock switch allows the zoom ring to be locked at each focal length index. It can be locked at any focal length, and stable shooting is possible at either upward or downward angles. This allows for more stable shooting during long exposures and other situations.

New "Intelligent OS" algorithm

The OS (Optical Stabilizer) mechanism for image stabilization employs an acceleration sensor to provide more precise image stabilization. The camera is equipped with two image stabilization modes: Mode 1, which is suitable for general shooting, and Mode 2, which is best suited for fluid shooting of motor sports and other activities. In Mode 2, an acceleration sensor and the new Intelligent OS image stabilization algorithm enable effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal or vertical position of the composition, so that the movement of the subject can be expressed without losing the effect of fluid shooting. This allows you to express the movement of the subject without losing the effect of the streaming shot.

*Cannot be used with film cameras other than Nikon F6 and Canon EOS-1V.

Equipped with "Manual Override" function. Two full-time manual modes can be switched

In addition to full-time manual focus, which allows switching from autofocus to manual focus simply by operating the focusing ring, the camera is now equipped with Manual Override (MO). When the focus switch is set to the MO position, manual focus can be switched to manual focus by rotating the focus ring even during continuous AF. By using the SIGMA USB DOCK (sold separately), it is possible to change the sensitivity at which the camera switches to manual focus when used in the MO position.

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting

Thorough measures against flare and ghosting were taken from the initial stages of lens design, and the lens is designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light, such as backlighting. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides high-contrast images even when shooting in backlit conditions. The attached hood effectively cuts out harmful light that can adversely affect the lens's rendering and prevents internal reflections from occurring.

Circular Aperture

The lens features a 9-blade circular aperture. When shooting against a background of point light sources such as illumination or light shining on water, a circular bokeh effect can be obtained even when using an aperture near maximum aperture.

Combined with a newly designed teleconverter, AF can be used up to F8

The SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 can be used as a 210-840mm F7-9 MF telephoto zoom lens, and the SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-2001 can be used as a 300-1200mm F10-12.6 MF super-telephoto zoom lens. The SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-2001 can be used as a 300-1200mm F10-12.6 MF telephoto zoom lens. AF shooting is possible with the SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 only when attached to a camera whose AF is compatible with F8.

* The camera may not focus when shooting subjects with low contrast or low luminance values.
