Ultra-telephoto zoom lens with the optical performance and brightness of a prime lens

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports extends the capabilities of a 600mm F4 prime lens with the freedom to zoom out all the way to 300mm without compromising optical performance. Its inner zoom mechanism minimizes center of gravity fluctuations throughout the entire zoom range, making it a versatile and easy-to-use tool for an unprecedented range of shooting situations.

Extremely high optical performance

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features 28 lens elements in 21 groups, including 6 FLD and 1 SLD glass elements, anomalous dispersion glass, and high refractive index glass. Its optical design provides excellent correction of various optical aberrations, such as chromatic aberration, throughout the entire zoom range. Although a zoom lens, the Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports delivers the unparalleled optical performance of a prime lens.

HLA-driven high-speed AF

Despite its large aperture of F4, the Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a lightweight focus lens group thanks to the use of a high-thrust HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, optimized optical power arrangement and state-of-the-art glass materials. The result is a high-speed autofocus functionality with outstanding accuracy.

Powerful Optical Stabilization function driven by the OS2 algorithm

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports delivers exceptional optical stabilization of 5.5 stops* at 600mm. Powered by Sigma’s sophisticated OS2 algorithm and featuring a drive unit with a specially designed actuator and high-precision sensor, this lens effortlessly meets the demands of a large-aperture ultra-telephoto. Additionally, photographers have the choice between two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for most still photography and video situations, while Mode 2 was specially designed for panning shots. Driven by Sigma’s Intelligent OS algorithm, this mode stabilizes the image during horizontal, vertical, or diagonal movements, regardless of the camera’s orientation, enabling photographers to capture moving subjects with professional precision. * Based on CIPA guidelines. (Measured at a focal length of 600mm with a 35mm full-frame camera)

Combines high robustness and mobility

The lens barrel is made of magnesium alloy for the main parts and the hood is made of carbon, achieving both high robustness and light weight. In addition, the optical design with the center of gravity toward the camera greatly improves the weight balance, which tends to be front-heavy.

Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance

The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather, such as nature or motorsports photography.

New function ring adds extended functionality

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a newly added function ring that further expands the options of the lens. The focus ring offers two different modes, selected via its setting switch: Focus Preset Mode: By turning the function ring to the left or right, the focus can be instantly shifted to a pre-registered focus position. This is useful when frequently shooting at a fixed focus position. Power Focus Mode: Focusing at a constant speed is possible by operating the function ring. This allows for smooth focus shift during movie shooting as well as for focusing with minimal movement when shooting hand-held. Focusing speed can be changed in two steps depending on the angle at which the function ring is operated.

Durable and easy-to-handle tripod socket

The tripod socket's rotating mechanism uses bearings for both high durability and smooth rotation with an optional click/declick mechanism for each 90° angle to assist in accuracy. The tripod socket foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps, but can be easily removed and replaced with different interchangeable tripod sockets (available separately) to suit a variety of situations and preferences.

Equipped with a drop-in filter holder

The Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports features a drop-in filter holder for standard ø40.5mm filters. In addition, Sigma has developed a new drop-in circular polarizing filter and a variable ND filter (available separately) that can be adjusted by approximately 7-stops while dropped into the lens.

Weatherability of Sigma's Sports line specifications

The mount joints, manual focus ring, zoom ring, custom switches and other control switches, and exterior joints are all protected from dust and splash by a dust- and splash-resistant structure. Further, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere to the lens. The structure is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable.

Various functions to support shooting

The lens features a variety of buttons and switches to accommodate individual preferences and the demands of different shooting situations, including AFL buttons in four different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS mode switch (Mode 1 or Mode 2), and a custom mode switch. The L-Mount version of the lens is also compatible with Tele Converters (TC-1411/TC-2011) for AF-enabled shooting at a maximum focal length of 1,200mm.

MTF CHART

The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) is one of the measurements for evaluating a lens' performance, and it shows how faithfully the contrast of the subject can be reproduced on the image plane. The horizontal axis shows the image height (distance from the center of the image in mm) and the vertical axis shows the contrast value (maximum value is 1). The closer the 10 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the higher the contrast and clarity of the lens is, and similarly, the closer the 30 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the better the resolution and sharpness of the lens is. The MTF chart depicts the result at the wide-open aperture. For mirrorless lenses that support distortion correction, the horizontal axis shows the image height equivalent to when an L-Mount lens is attached to a Sigma L-Mount camera with distortion correction applied. (The effect of distortion correction may differ depending on the mount and camera used.) *The spatial frequency indicates the variation on the image plane before distortion correction is performed.

HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)

HLA is Sigma's proprietary linear motor. It drives the focus lens directly without going through gears or other mechanical parts, resulting in quiet, high-precision autofocusing.

Inner focus system

To increase stability, this lens configuration uses movable internal lens elements that adjust focus without changing the length of the lens barrel.

OS2

OS2 is the newly developed optical stabilizer algorithm. Compared to the previous algorithm used by Sigma lenses, OS2 improves the effect of optical stabilization significantly.

Inner zoom

The lens incorporates an inner zoom. With their unchanging barrel length, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.

Nano Porous Coating

"NPC (Nano Porous Coating)" incorporates porous silica as the coating material. The porous silica layer has nano-sized holes with air inside. Having holes of this size enables a large reduction in the refractive index, allowing the reflectance to be lowered more than conventional anti-reflective coatings. As a result, reflected light causing flares and ghosting is sharply reduced, achieving clear image quality.

Water and oil repellent coating

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.

AFL button

The AFL button can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.

Focus Mode Switch

Using this switch, it is possible to switch the focus mode between AF and MF.

Focus Limiter Switch

Offers customization for the driving range of autofocus. It makes it possible to limit the drive range from a specific distance to a long distance or a short distance.

Function Ring

The focus ring offers two different modes, selected via its setting switch.
