Affortable and Qualtive Alternative to Nikon Lens
There are not many choices in the market for 500 mm lens. All but a few are prime. This lens offers the convenience of zoom lens with focal length varying from 150 to 500 mm. Its image quality is excellent from 150 to 300 mm but gradually degrades toward the 500 mm end.
Pros:
- HSM
- OS
- well built and relatively inexpensive 500mm lens
Cons:
- Slightly worse image quality above 400mm
- OS needs about one-second to engage, not immediately effective

this is an excellent lens you can leave your tripod at home the OS works very well. optics are also excellent focusing is very fast it seems to function similar to an f2.8 or f4.0 we were a little worried about buying a 3rd party lens but no more we have been using this lens for about 4 months now...

Suveränt objektiv för pengarna
Jag rekommenderar objektivet till alla som är ute efter ett prisvärt långt objektiv. Det går att handhålla vid bra ljusförhållanden och det hänger med att fota flygande fåglar med. Objektivets svagheter kommer inte som någon överraskning och det dras inte med några onödiga designfel.
Pros:
- Sigma 150-500 mm ger en fantastisk räckvidd till den digitala systemkameran och fungerar bra att fotografera vilda djur och fåglar till en av marknadens lägsta kostnader
- Man ska komma ihåg att det här är ett stort objektiv som väger över 1,5 kg och det kräver lite annorlunda arbetssätt en kortare...
Cons:
- Det här ett av de billigaste långa objektiven på marknaden och naturligtvis har man kompromissat i konstruktionen
- Ytfinishen är mer rå en sofistikerad, bildstabiliseringen oväsnas överraskande mycket och drar en hel del ström och objektivet är ljussvagt och kantskärpan är inte den bästa vid full...

Overall a good lens for bringing in the
I take pictures for a baseball team. The lens takes good pictures and brings the subject close to you. Also with the 150mm you can still get close action shots without switching the lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Better than expected
This lens is by far better than expected. Ive read reviews where they said it was soft on the edges wide open. I havent found this to be true. This lens is built like a tank. I know its not a Nikon lens but I think its just as good.
Pros:
- zoom
- quality
- price
Cons:
- Its not 600mm

Worth every penny!
These are very early impressions after having had my lens for about two hours.
Pros:
- Focal length
- build quality
- and image quality for price
Cons:
- f/6,3 at 500mm is limiting
- Vignetting might be a problem in some photos

This lens is great for sporting events
I use this for my childrens' sporting activities (swimming, water polo, baseball, golf). Last weekend I tried it out at a water polo tournament and was very pleased with the results. I also have a Canon L 70-200 lens that I really like, but it just doesn't reach far enough.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Not fully examined all the pictures taken with it, but on first viewing they look pretty good. Despite the weight (and a bad shoulder) I managed to shoot with it hand held when there was plenty of light

I did a whole lot of research before deciding to buy this baby. Oh my !!! This is fun to shoot with. I will be keeping this lens for a long while unless they come out with a new one for the same price that is better but I don't know how you can make this thing better.
