The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports for Sony and L-mount cameras has a fair bit of history behind it. Jump in a time machine and travel back to 2001, and you can witness the birth of the so-called ‘Bigma’. It was a unique lens for SLRs with a 50-500mm zoom range, covering everything from standard to super-telephoto focal lengths. 2010 saw the launch of an updated version, optimized for digital cameras and adding optical stabilization. Although weighty at 1,840g, it was eclipsed in 2018 by the current Sigma 60-600 mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports, weighing in at 2,700g. Unlike some Sigma lenses, it hasn’t been tweaked to add Sony E and Leica L mount options for mirrorless cameras. Instead, Sigma has redesigned the ‘DN’ mirrorless version from the ground up, but it’s still hefty at 2,485g.
