When shooting handheld, we recommend using the lens’ tripod socket to attach it to a monopod for added stability. Your tripod may not even support the front-heavy weight of the lens. If this is your first large telephoto lens, it may take some getting used to. While the lens is smaller and lighter than the original model, it’s still quite big. Meanwhile, the Smooth setting allowed us to easily cycle through the entire 150-600mm focal range in a single motion. The Lock and Tight settings prevented zoom creep, a common complaint with the original model. We also really appreciated the on-lens controls, particularly the Zoom Torque switch. Additionally, even when shooting into the sun, we had almost no issues with chromatic aberrations, courtesy of the lens’ new ultra-low dispersion glass. ![]() We found the lens capable of delivering crisp, clear visuals throughout its the focal range. The original model suffered for having such a large focal range, particularly when shooting at its widest length. The updated optical construction of the new lens helps it stand out from its predecessor. It’s a great option for landscape, wildlife, and sports photographers. Combined with its reliable optical image stabilization modes for panning and handheld shooting, you can also use the lens effectively to capture moving subjects. Like the original model, the lens’ long focal length (and wide focal range) makes it well-suited for capturing faraway subjects. A bag, lockable hood, and tripod socket (with a removable foot) are included with the lens. The lens is available in Sony E-mount and L-mount and has a 95mm filter thread size. The Zoom Torque switch allows you to toggle the zoom ring’s level of resistance between three settings: Smooth, Tight, and Lock. New on-lens controls include an OS Mode switch, Custom switch (for custom OS settings), Focus Limiter switch, three customizable AFL buttons, and a Zoom Torque switch. The new lens also offers up to four stops of optical image stabilization (OS) compensation, with two modes for panning or handheld shooting. Additionally, the lens features an updated optical construction, including 4 FLD elements and 2 ELD elements, and an enhanced autofocus system driven by a stepping motor and high-precision magnetic sensor. Meanwhile the barrel is constructed of durable aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) components. The lens is dust and splash-proof, with a water and oil repellant coating on the front element. The Alpha 1, Sony’s flagship mirrorless camera, measures 5.1 x 3.8 x 3.2’’ (128.9 x 96.9 x 80.8mm) and weighs just 1.62 lbs. That’s a crucial difference, especially considering the size of the latest mirrorless camera models. ![]() (0.76kg) lighter and about one inch shorter than the original model. The L-mount version of the new DG DN lens measures 4.3 x 10.4’’ (109.4mm x 263.6mm) and weighs 4.6 lbs. As we found in our review of that lens, the housing of Sigma’s new lens is remarkably light and compact compared to the original, despite other optical and technical improvements. The new 150-600mm F5-6.3 lens follows the April release of Sigma’s 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens, itself an updated version of a previous model.
