This lens is ideal for wildlife, sports, and bird photography, providing exceptional reach and image quality. Featuring Sigma's Optical Stabilizer (OS) technology, it delivers effective image stabilization to reduce camera shake, enabling sharper handheld shots. The optical design includes 20 elements in 14 groups, with one FLD (F Low Dispersion) and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure high contrast and sharpness. The maximum aperture varies from f/5 at 150mm to f/6.3 at 600mm, offering good low-light performance for its class.
