The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is a powerful, versatile super-telephoto zoom lens engineered for full-frame (FX) and APS-C (DX) Nikon F-mount digital SLR cameras, delivering an expansive 225-900mm equivalent focal range on DX bodies (including full compatibility with models such as the Nikon D5000 series). Designed as part of Sigma’s Global Vision Contemporary line, this lens achieves an optimal balance between extended telephoto reach, optical resolving power, and a relatively lightweight, portable form factor, making it an exceptional choice for wildlife, birding, outdoor sports, motorsports, and airshow photography.

The sophisticated optical construction consists of 20 elements in 14 groups, utilizing one “F” Low Dispersion (FLD) element and three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and secondary spectrum distortion across the entire focal range. Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating effectively curbs lens flare, ghosting, and internal reflections to produce high-contrast, color-accurate images even in harsh, backlit environments, complemented by a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element. Autofocus is powered by a high-torque Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) paired with an optimized AF algorithm and rear-focusing mechanism for swift, quiet, and precise subject acquisition with full-time manual focus override. To ensure sharp handheld captures at extreme telephoto distances, the lens integrates an advanced Optical Stabilizer (OS) system, a multi-position zoom lock switch, a smooth rounded 9-blade diaphragm, and a rugged Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) barrel with a solid brass bayonet mount and dust- and splash-resistant sealing.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: COMPLETE SUPER-TELEPHOTO LENS OUTFIT.

The optical glass elements are pristine with intact multi-coatings; the HSM autofocus motor drives quickly and silently; the Optical Stabilizer (OS) engages smoothly; the zoom lock, manual focus ring, zoom mechanism, and electronic aperture function properly.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

150-600mm Super-Telephoto Reach: Broad zoom range provides exceptional flexibility for capturing distant wildlife, aviation, action sports, and landscape details (225-900mm equivalent on DX-format bodies).

Advanced Optical Stabilizer (OS): Minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld photography and stable viewfinder framing at extreme focal lengths.

High-Speed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM): Delivers rapid, accurate, and quiet autofocus tracking with seamless full-time manual focus override.

Premium FLD & SLD Optical Elements: Integrates 1 FLD element and 3 SLD elements to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the entire zoom range.

Super Multi-Layer Coating: Suppresses flare and ghosting to maintain deep contrast and true color neutrality in challenging, direct light.

Multi-Focal Length Zoom Lock: Features a dedicated zoom lock switch that can be engaged at preset focal lengths to prevent lens creep during transport or shooting.

Rugged TSC Construction & Weather Resistance: Built with Thermally Stable Composite material and a durable brass bayonet mount with dust- and splash-resistant sealing.
