Sigma Releases 60-600mm Sports Lens
The mirrorless 10x ultra-telephoto zoom lens is the latest addition to the Sports line and will be available in Sony E-Mount and L-Mount.
Sigma Corp. of America has announced the 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports, a mirrorless 10x ultra-telephoto zoom lens.
Available in Sony E-Mount and L-Mount, the lens covers standard (60mm) to ultra-telephoto (600mm), along with 1:2.4 maximum magnification (at 200mm), and weighs 5.5 pounds. It offers six stops of optical stabilization at the telephoto end and seven stops at the standard end.
A new optical design features both SLD and FLD glass elements, and a multi-material structure is employed to balance durability and portability.
The newly designed High-Response Linear Actuator focusing motor delivers fast, precise autofocusing, and dual-action zoom allows for both the precision of the zoom ring and the swift, intuitive response of the push-pull action on the front end of the barrel. Three AFL buttons are easy to operate in any orientation, and the Zoom Lock switch can be locked at all marked focal distances.
The mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, switches, switch panel and exterior connection are dust- and splash-resistant.
The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports will begin shipping in mid-February and will list for $1,999.
