More compact than the 150-600mm Sports version, this lightweight super-telephoto zoom lens is easy to handle and a versatile addition to the “Contemporary” line of Sigma optics. It is also compatible with Sigma’s latest teleconverter range.

Optically the lens uses one FLD and three SLD glass elements together with optimisation of lens power distribution and minimised chromatic aberration of magnification – for better control of this problem right through the zoom range. Specifically the FLD element has a low refractive index and high anomalous dispersion which draws the benefit of reduction of secondary spectrum (residual) chromatic aberration, which cannot be achieved using conventional glasses.

There is improved focusing using Sigma’s HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) with an improved algorithm to allow the AF-C continuous mode to improve focus efficiency by around 5%. There are two manual focus override modes, one of these allowing override to manual focus even during continuous AF, and its sensitivity is adjustable via the optional Sigma USB Dock. The dock can also be used to update lens firmware.

For extra resilience, the 150-600mm C Lens is Dustproof and Splashproof and has a water & oil repellent coating for its outer lens elements and rubber sealing around the lens mount. The included tripod socket is a lightweight design and made of magnesium for strength and low mass. It can be removed for a further reduction in weight and bulk.  For consistency and accuracy while shopoting, the lens has a Zoom Lock switch which stops the focal length changing while shooting.

The Intelligent OS (Optical Stabilisation) comes with an updated algorithm for greater precision and includes an acceleration sensor. There are two modes, one for general photography and the other with the acceleration sensor, ideal for panning applications such as motorsports.

This lens is quality tested using the very latest A1 MTF measuring system and is manufactured in Japan.
