SIGMA 150 600MM F 5 6.3 DG OS HSM S FREE

After a few months that I am using this Sigma 150-600 Sport, I must say that I am satisfied, as I found a specimen absolutely free from front/ back focus and on my 5D MK IV it works very well. I had doubts because I was used to the quality and handling of the Canon 300 2.8 IS 1st version, but too short a focal length, I never decided to switch to a zoom. Opinion: I bought this used lens and at a good price. Pros: Sharpness, Contrast, Good color rendering even at high iso.Ĭons: Considerable weight, unbalanced forward I definitely recommend it because in APS-C you have a very long and very sharp focal length and considering the price it is really an excellent compromise. The stabilizer I find excellent, I have almost always managed to get still shots 1/250sec freehand without problems, at the maximum focal length. If you use a tripod you do not have big problems, but for a freehand photograph after some time you feel the fatigue in supporting this lens. The main flaw lies in the weight and the forward imbalance being a zoom that stretches. I also used it with a monopod and the stability increases thus gaining in terms of quality. These zooms express their best at short and medium distances, it goes without saying that if we shoot at very distant subjects using a teleob. The sharpness as already mentioned by many, is high, especially closing already at 7.1 and I speak at the maximum extension, but even at 6.3 it is not so bad. The difference in acuity is immediately noticeable even if I admit that the G2 is not much lower. I must say great combination between the two with noteworthy results without disfiguring with the long original fires. Opinion: I've had this lens for a while paired with the D500. Pros: Sharpness, price, AF speed, excellent even at 600mm, contrast, stabilizer, solidity, quality / priceĬons: Weight, unbalanced, closing screw of the hood that may come off, lack of front cap, elongation of the zoom And I do not consider Nikon or Sony brands as I have several cameras and lenses for Canon and cannot switch so easily. Never used the Tamrons, so I cannot provide opinion. Also even if it is heavier, it is built a lot better and will withstand the usage in extreme conditions. I was happy with the contemporary which I used for 3 years, but the Sport has a little more autofocus consistency and image contrast and it is easier to use on a tripod or monopod. The other 2 possible better options are out of my price range (500 f4 or 200-400). The 150-600 Sport is the right choice for me now.

And of course, for some type of photography, you cannot beat an f2.8 prime.īut for the 90% of my telephoto nature pictures, there is no other lens I would choose.

I learned from experience that 400 is not enough for ME anymore, so that rule out some options. Opinion: Thru the years, I used several telefoto lenses from Canon and Sigma, zoom and fixed ones (Canon 300 f4 IS, 300 f.8 IS, 400 f5.6L, 70-200 f.28 IS, 100-400 II, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary and Sport). Great value for the moneyĬons: Weight and f6.3 slow aperture, but knew both before buying and decided to buy anyway Customization as in other Sigma lenses with USB dock. Autofocus is consistent and quick enough. Nice tripod ring (even better with AP-608 foot). Pros: Good picture quality even at f6.3 in 600 mm (but even better at f8).
