Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens for L-Mount Summary
Boasting an all-new mirrorless design, the Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens for L-Mount is a compelling option for photographing birds, wildlife, sports, aircraft, and other distant subjects. This exclusive mirrorless lens from Sigma is less than half the weight of its DSLR counterpart and incorporates the latest HLA motor technology and OS2 stabilisation algorithm.
Its 234.6mm length and reduced weight are achieved through the use of unique low-dispersion glass and precision-crafted TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) materials. These innovations enable easy handheld shooting while ensuring fast, accurate autofocus and up to 5 stops of effective optical image stabilisation.
The super telephoto prime also offers features tailored for professional use, such as a weather-sealed construction, a Focus Limiter switch, a de-clickable and lockable aperture ring, a removable tripod socket, and a Custom Mode switch.
It supports high-speed autofocus, lens corrections, and both linear and non-linear focus throw, enhancing its versatility and usability for Lumix S, Leica L and Sigma camera users. Ideal for both advanced amateurs and professional photographers, this latest Sigma super telephoto prime is poised to become the go-to choice for Leica L system creators.

Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens for L-Mount in More Detail
Exceptional Performance
This latest L-mount mirrorless lens sets a new standard in performance by incorporating unique low-dispersion glass elements, resulting in a significant reduction in size and weight compared to Sigma's equivalent 500mm DSLR lens. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable which is ideal for handheld photography.
Equipped with a built-in High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor, the 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens offers quick, smooth, precise, and nearly silent autofocus, ensuring consistent sharpness, particularly in subject tracking modes. Additionally, the integrated Optical Stabiliser (OS) achieves 5 stops of effective stabilisation, courtesy of Sigma's advanced OS2 algorithm.
Extremely compact with big results
To reduce the size of this super telephoto prime lens without compromising optical quality, Sigma employed convex low-dispersion elements towards the front of the lens barrel. The design of these glass elements also serves to keep chromatic and axial aberrations to a minimum.
Flare and ghosting are prevented by refractive lenses, which is ideal for when shooting in backlit environments such as sporting arenas or when strong light sources are within, or close to the edges of the frame. The mirrorless lens is impressively small and considerably lighter compared to the Sigma 500mm F4 DG OS HSM | Sports for DSLRs, which is achieved without using conventional diffractive optical elements.

Advanced Autofocus and optical stabilisation
The Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports lens excels in capturing dynamic subjects such as birds in flight or racing cars. Its High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor provides exceptionally fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, surpassing traditional stepping motors. This lens also thrives in low-light situations, such as concerts or floodlit sports events, thanks to its exclusive OS2 algorithm, which offers up to 5 stops of stabilisation with full-frame cameras.
Additionally, the lens boasts two Optical Stabiliser (OS) modes. Mode 1 is the most versatile, reducing camera shake during slower shutter speeds in various photography types. Mode 2 utilises a proprietary Intelligent OS algorithm, enhancing the smoothness of panning shots, particularly when tracking fast-moving subjects.
Stabilisation remains effective irrespective of the lens's orientation, adeptly handling both vertical and diagonal movements without hindering the panning action.
Leica users benefit from the support of switching between linear / non linear focus, USB dock compatibility, DMF and AF+MF, as well as featuring an inner focus system.

Robust despite the low weight
Shoot outdoors regardless of environmental conditions thanks to a combination of lightweight materials such as TSC and magnesium, with a weather-resistant construction. These prevent dust, dirt and water droplets from entering the lens, which is ideal if shooting in light rain or on a sandy beach. The lens is light enough for effortless handheld shooting over extended periods, reducing the need for a tripod or monopod in many situations.
Tough Thermally Stable Composite construction
As with many of the most advanced Sigma lenses, much of the exterior and some of the interior of the 500mm prime lens is built from TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which is a light and strong material that increases durability and reduces weight.
TSC has similar thermal expansion properties to aluminium, which means that both the TSC and aluminium parts within the barrel expand and contract to the same degree as temperatures change. This innovative design ensures consistent performance whether shooting in a hot desert or the freezing temperatures of a polar environment.

Weather resistant seals
The lens mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, switches, switch panel and exterior connection are all dust and splash-resistant to prevent dust and moisture from entering the lens. The front element also has a water and oil-repellent coating applied, which helps to eep the optic clear of contaminants, whilst making it easier to clean the front element.
Responsive Aperture Ring
Experience direct control over depth-of-field with the lens's integrated aperture control ring. This offers the flexibility to be de-clicked for filmmakers' and can be locked to prevent unintentional adjustments.
Removable Tripod Socket
The lens comes with a detachable tripod socket made of Arca-Swiss-compatible magnesium alloy, maintaining the lens's compactness and lightness. Equipped with a standard 1/4” screw, this socket can be removed, which is particularly beneficial for handheld shooting.

Customisable functions
A number of controls ensure a seamless workflow, which includes a Focus Limiter switch that shortens the focus driving range. This stops the lens incorrectly focusing on objects either in front or behind the subject, speeding up focus acquisition substantially. Three AFL buttons are found around the lens barrel, which can be programmed via the camera menu to any preferred functionality for personalised handling.
Cover-type lens hood included
A strong and lightweight cover-type lens hood made of TSC is included with the lens. The tip of the hood is thoughtfully rubberised to help protect the lens from damage when standing the lens nose down.
