FLD and SLD lens elements for superior image quality

The SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary has put a special emphasis on its optical performance by incorporating 1 FLD and 3 SLD glass elements, optimisation of lens power distribution and minimised chromatic aberration. The dust- and splash-proof construction facilitates photography in the field and the detachable tripod socket offers more convenience for handheld photography. By incorporating excellent optical glass elements, it minimises chromatic aberration and achieves class-leading image quality. This lens incorporates 1 FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass element, which has a performance equal to fluorite, and 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements which improve overall sharpness and compensate for chromatic aberration. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.

Lightweight and compact construction for higher usability Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, it is more compact and lightweight, enabling easy handling and making it possible to do handheld photography for a longer period of time. The tripod socket is detachable so that the lens can be carried by itself. This lens is the optimal choice for photographers who desire hyper-telephoto functionality while staying light on their feet.

Intelligent OS featuring updated algorithm The OS (Optical Stabilizer) function features an acceleration sensor to ensure even higher precision. Two OS modes are available: Mode 1 for general photography and Mode 2 for motor sports and other applications requiring panning. In Mode 2, the acceleration sensor teams up with the Intelligent OS and its updated stabilisation algorithm to deliver effective stabilisation while you move the camera horizontally, vertically, or diagonally-regardless of the position of the lens. This feature helps ensure effective panning and outstanding capture of moving subjects.

Zoom lock switch can be set at any focal length The new zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at any marked focal length. It can be fixed at the photographer's desirable focal length, which allows stable shooting whether the lens is positioned upward or downward. It also helps during long exposure photography. Water and oil-repellent coating ensures a pleasant photography experience The forefront lenses incorporate a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier. Dust-proof and splash-proof mount As with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM from the Sports line, the lens mount incorporates a rubber sealing to protect the mount part from dust and water drops.

The included Sigma TC-1401 is a high standard 1.4x teleconverter that is designed specifically for Sigma's Global Vision product lines. By mounting it in between a telephoto lens and a camera, the offered magnification of focal length is increased by 1.4 times. The Tele Converter incorporate SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements that offer excellent aberration correction. It is unusual for a lens accessory to use one of the best glass materials, yet this is because Sigma is seeking for the best possible image quality, and it is necessary to meet the "SGV" standards. The dust and splash proof construction ensures this teleconverter is suitable for professionals. It is compact and lightweight and provides an easy extension of the focal range.

The TC-1401 incorporates 1 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element. By minimising chromatic aberration effectively, it has achieved excellent optical performance, thus it is possible to maintain the optical quality of the original lens.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
