This makes it possible to design the lens with a smaller minimum length ( generally when it is zoomed out) compared to internal zoom lenses. The disadvantages of this design are being harder to seal against dust and moisture, weight balance shifting while zooming and zoom creep in certain lenses.
Zoom Lock
Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C has a
Zoom lock feature which eliminates Zoom creep where focal length of the lens changes with gravity when it's held downwards or upwards.

Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C has a Max Magnification Ratio of
5x and has a minimum focusing distance of
2.6m.
Aperture
Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C is a variable aperture lens with a max aperture of f5 and a minimum aperture of f22 at 150mm, and a max aperture of f6.3 and minimum aperture of f22 at 600mm .
