PhotographyBlog: Sigma 60-600mm Sports review

PhotographyBlog has released their Sigma 60-600mm review, Sigma's new hyper-telephoto zoom lens for full frame cameras.  Tested using a Canon 5DS, check out the review here to see how it fares.

As a spoiler here's what they had to say about it;

The new Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports is a unique lens that delivers versatility, performance and optical quality in spades.

Sigma have further refined the build quality of their Sports lenses, with the new 60-600mm utilizing a complex mix of magnesium and hi-tech plastics. Consequently this lens is smaller, lighter and slightly faster than the well regarded and very similar Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports optic, whilst offering a much more versatile focal range at the short end, although it is admittedly more expensive, especially in the UK.

At a glance the Sigma 60-600 sports (literally) the following specifications;

• EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
• Aperture Range: f/4.5 to f/32
• Three FLD Elements, One SLD Element
• Super Multi-Layer Coating
• Hyper Sonic AF Motor
• Intelligent OS Image Stabilization
• Removable Arca-Type Tripod Foot
• TSC Material, Dust- and Moisture-Sealed
• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
• Compatible with Sigma Teleconverters
