Sigma has announced one of their most versatile lenses yet, the 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports.
Superzoom lenses have come a long way in the last few years, and these advancements allow photographers to get high-quality images while still enjoying the convenience of having a huge range of focal lengths available to them. The new 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports comes with a range of features that make it a versatile option for a variety of photographers, and at a cost of $1,999, it looks quite reasonably priced considering the multiple lenses it can replace.

I have this lens in the EF mount, non-mirrorless version. As soon as I acquired it, it became my most used lens. Surprised at how many wildlife photos I take between 60mm and 100mm, so the extra range on the short end is extremely useful. I'm getting shots I always missed out on with my 100-400mm,

Similar to Tom Reichner I have this lens in the EF mount which I use on my R5 with an adapter. I use it primarily for shooting field sports (football, soccer, lacrosse) and the ability to shoot action that happens right next to you on the near sideline at the 60mm end, then follow the action to the far end zone with the 600mm end is unbeatable.
