To compensate for any unnecessary camera shaking or movement, it includes an enhanced optical stabilizer (OS) with an optimized hyper-sonic motor (HSM) for quiet and fast autofocus. Its four FLD (performance equal to fluorite) components and one SLD glass element capture incredibly sharp and contrasted images through the full focal length. Its top quality glass ensures outstanding images in every situation.

The Sigma macro close-up lens is designed exclusively for the Sigma 18-300mm lens. It enables zoom-macro photography with changeable angles of view and offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.

The Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C is the first hyper-telephoto zoom from the Sigma Contemporary line. It was designed with maximum portability and marries supreme image quality with long-reach photographic capabilities. It includes a quiet, optimized hyper-sonic motor (HSM) and an enhanced optical stabilizer (OS) with an accelerometer, making it ideal for panning photography such as birding, wildlife and motorsports. It also boasts a new zoom lock switch that can be locked at any focal length and a manual override (MO) switch for improved focusing control.

The Sigma USB dock enhances the 150-600mm lens by allowing for customization including firmware updates and adjustments to the focus limiter, AF speed and OS view.
