Offering an impressively versatile range with a portable form factor, the Canon EF-mount 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM from Sigma is a Contemporary-series telephoto zoom characterized by its sophisticated optics and flexible handling. 

Super Telephoto Zoom

This long-range zoom provides a large focal range to capture subjects at a great distance. While it’s not quite as ideal for sports photography as the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports for Canon, this “Contemporary” version is perfectly suited for wildlife and outdoor shooting. The variable f/5-6.3 aperture may be a tad limiting for low-light shooting, so you’ll get the best performance while shooting in daylight. 

Optics

One F Low Dispersion (FLD) and three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements are featured in the optical design and help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. 

Hyper Sonic Motor Autofocus System

Balancing the optical design, this lens also features an Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) along with a rear focus system that helps to realize quick and quiet autofocus. It is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time. The Autofocus/Manual Focus switch also has a manual override position that enables full-time manual focus override for quick fine tuning. 

Optical Stabilizer with Accelerometer 

Optical Stabilizer system minimizes the appearance of camera shake to benefit making sharper imagery when shooting handheld. For improved panning performance, Sigma has added an accelerometer to help detect horizontal and vertical movement when shooting in Mode 2. 

Build Quality

The lens barrel is constructed of Sigma’s durable Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, which ensures greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. A water and oil repellent coating applied to the front element aids in cleaning. Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity. This “Contemporary” version doesn’t get the full weather sealing that the “Sports” version does, but it does have a weather-seal on the mount to help protect the camera body. Its zoom-lock switch and rotating tripod ring give you ultimate flexibility when shooting from a tripod or monopod. 

Movri Canada, providing the mail-delivery system, is set out to make the gear available at more affordable prices through online rentals.
