Description
Sigma 150-600mm
Offering an impressively versatile range with a portable form factor, the Nikon F-mount 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM from Sigma is a Contemporary-series telephoto zoom characterized by its sophisticated optics and flexible handling. One FLD element and three SLD elements are used to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range and a Super Multi-Coating also helps to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
Balancing the optical design, this lens also features a Hyper Sonic Motor, which provides especially fast and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override. An Optical Stabilizer also works to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Additionally, a removable, rotating tripod collar is included to suit working atop a tripod or monopod.
Joining the Global Vision line-up, the Sigma 150-600 mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Nikon is designed for Nikon cameras and brings versatile super telephoto zoom focal lengths in a compact, weather-resistant package. The full frame lens features an aperture range from f5-6.3 to f22 and utilizes one FLD and three SLD elements. Also, this lens features a Hyper Sonic Motor for fast, quiet autofocus and has an Optical Stabilizer with an accelerometer for improved panning performance.
The “Sigma 150-600 mm” F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Nikon lens barrel features two main switches, one that can lock the zoom at any of the eight demarcated focal lengths and a manual focus override for additional control. The Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Nikon lens, available at a low price from Foto Discount World, also has a minimum focusing distance of 110.2″ and a rotatable tripod collar.
