Weather Sealings

Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS S is a weather sealed lens which provides an extra protection to prevent water and dust get inside the lens and camera body under light rain, snow and wind. In order to have an effective protection, you have to pair the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS S with a weather sealed camera body such as Sigma fp L, Leica SL2-S and Panasonic S5.

Optical Image Stabilization

Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS S features an optical image stabilization system which helps to reduce the blur that occurs due to shaking during hand-held shooting. Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS S's stabilization system is effective up to 4.0 stops.

Zoom Method

Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS S features Rotary (extending) zoom method where the length of the lens changes as you zoom in or out.
