Great lens to have in the kit.
This is a great lens for Sport, Wildlife and even some portrait photography. The lens can get a little heavy after a while and a tripod is recommended. I love the feel and and the close up shoots I can get without intruding in my subjects face.

Decent lens at a good price
For this price those lens fits the bill. I have not tried them out in multiple conditions yet, but for the price they cannot be beaten.

Beautiful -- but HEAVY
First of all let me state that they have a sort of decieving picture of this lens that makes it look sort of smaller than it is in real life -- READ the SPECS!!! It arrived and the box size right away made me face facts that this was not a smaller lightweight Tele Lens. It weighs 5 lbs!
Pros:
- Carry Strap
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Heavy Duty Carry Case
- Lens lock
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
- Tripod Mount
Cons:
- Bulky
- Heavy

I looked at and tried Canon 100-400 and compared shots taken with the Sigma 150-500. Currently using a Canon 40D body, I decided to get the Sigma 150-500 and very happy I did. Beautiful lens and not to heavy but I would recommend using a monopod to save your arms and wrists from the strain due to...

Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO
This is the third Sigma 500mm zoom that I've owned. The first was their non-OS 50-500mm, and then their 50-500mm OS and finally the 150-500mm OS. I use the 150-500mm on Nikons, including a D3, D700, D7100, D300 and D2X.
Pros:
- Reach
- Silent motor
- fast target acquisition speed
- reasonable price
- sturdy build
- lightweight for its size
Cons:
- Some may find it "
- plasticy"
- , but the use of plastic keeps it both lighter and less expensive
- MF only with a TC

Superb lens
I purchased this lens to go with my Nikon D5300 and it works perfectly with it. I took some photos of aircraft and the results are off the hook. Definitely one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. I was initially concerned about the weight.

Auto-focus problems
I bought this lens back in September 2013 and it was great until this month when the auto-focus went. When I Googled the lens I found out that the lens has a history of auto-focus problems, when you start typing Sigma 15...

After one week with the Sigma 150-500mm OS, even with the smaller aperture range of f5 to 6.3, this lens exceeds my expectations. In fact, it gave me such good results that I put my 100-400mm IS L Canon up for sale.
Pros:
- Good reach
- quiet focus
- manual override
- works well with extenders
Cons:
- Can focus hunt
- OS makes some noise
- Canon 40D has reported problems with lens
