Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens for Canon

Quite heavy but sturdy beast, great results for nature photography but recommend using tripod at 600mm to ensure crisp sharp pictures.

The lense works great with my Nikon D3100 — autofocus, image stabilization and all.

Teleobjetivo de gran alcance, no excesivamente pesado en su version C pudiendolo usar a pulso aunque es conveniente usar un tripode resistente y a ser posible usar un Gimbal lo que le da una versatilidad enorme. Dejo una foto realizada a unos 200 metros

premetto che l ho comprato su warehouse usato

Nice for the price

Revolutionary. I bought this for wildlife photography mainly for large animals here in Africa. It’s excellent although for stability it needs to rest on the window/ doorframe of the car. I am amazed at the clarity and sharpness of images. Autofocus has at times struggled and I found myself toggling between manual and auto on the lens at times when it really lost it. Not a dealbreaker but one issue to be aware of. To my surprise I have found myself taking far more bird photos - it’s now worth it since I can now fill the frame.... extraordinary!

Ein super Teil, man kann vieles damit machen.

Tres bien pour débuter la photo animalière en affût. Il faut être musclé à main lever 1930g.jai testé pendant 2h en rando .

I read lots of reviews and watched a few review videos before purchasing this lens but was still a bit unsure about the weight and also how well it would work on my crop sensor bodies including with an EOS M6 and EOS M mount adaptor. It is indeed relatively heavy compared to say a 70mm-300mm but thats obviously the nature of lenses with this zoom range and by all accounts its a fair bit lighter than the sport version. So far the quality of the images have been great - even hand held shots - at an appropriate shutter speed. I had also read comments that when purchased from Amazon.co.uk the lens isnt covered by the Sigma extended 3 year warranty so I checked this with Sigma before opening and as long as it has been supplied by Sigma UK it is covered which I verified before opening by sending them the serial number from the label on the box. My only gripe with the lens so far is that the built-in tripod mount isnt Arca Swiss and I believe the sport version is Arca swiss. There are 3rd party replacements available for the Contemporary version but this seems like a poor decision by Sigma not to make the mount for this version Arca Swiss too. Having to screw in an Arca Swiss plate just adds to the weight and scope for instability. BTW one of my Canon bodies is the EOS-M6 and I sometimes use the Viltrox 0.7 EOS-M mount focal reducer with that and for stills not just video. So with that combination the exif data reports as 106mm 3.5 - 426mm 4.5 and the auto focus still works fine. Obviously the reported focal lengths and apertures still have to be multiplied by 1.6 to get the FF equivalents but the fact that the Sigma lens works with the Viltrox adaptor is great! Overall very pleased with the Sigma 150-600mm F5.6-6.3 DG Comtemporary so far!

Geniales Objektiv. Bin beindruckt bezüglich der Leistung an der D750. Die fehlende Lichtstärke kann hier mit höheren ISOs ausgeglichen werden. Die Bildqualität ist einfach sehr gut und besser als erwartet.
