Versatile Hyper Telephoto Zoom. The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports is a 10x super telephoto zoom that provides a large focal range that’s perfect for sports, wildlife, portrait, and fast-moving action photography. The variable f/4.5-6.3 aperture may be a tad limiting for low-light shooting, so you’ll get the best performance while shooting in daylight. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm gives you smooth, natural-looking bokeh. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get a 90-900mm equivalent focal-length range.

Dual-Action Zoom Design. This lens’s dual-action zoom system facilitates delicate, intuitive, and fast operation by allowing for rotary zooming via the zoom ring and straight zooming by grasping the end of the lens.

Redesigned Autofocus System. An updated autofocus system incorporates an AF actuator driven by a High-Response Linear Actuator motor and a magnetic sensor to provide precise, silent, high-speed operation in a wide variety of shooting situations. It’s particularly great for following fast-moving subjects, like athletes, cars, wildlife, and planes and birds in flight. The Autofocus/Manual-Focus switch also has a manual override position that enables full-time manual-focus override for quick fine-tuning.

Optical Image Stabilization. An updated optical image stabilization system helps to eliminate camera shake when shooting, offering up to seven stops of compensation at the wide end and up to six stops at the telephoto end.

Advanced Optical Design. As a part of Sigma’s Sports line, this lens goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing, ensuring high image quality. Its 19-group/27-element optical design incorporates 3 Special Low-Dispersion elements and 2 “F” Low-Dispersion elements, which maintain sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy throughout the zoom range while combating fringing and chromatic aberrations.

Professional Build. The lens barrel is constructed of Sigma’s durable Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, which ensures minimal shrinkage in extreme conditions. The dust- and splash-proof sealing further ensures uninhibited shooting in messy situations, with water- and oil-repellent coatings on the front and rear elements to keep them clean. Its rotating tripod ring gives you ultimate flexibility when shooting from a tripod or monopod, and its brass bayonet mount ensures accuracy. This rental includes the heavy-duty Sigma TS-121 tripod socket with a removable, replaceable foot.
