Value for Money
There are numerous reviews of this lens in the web, but here's my experience with this Sigma lens. Pros: 1. Range (150 - 500) there's nothing in the Nikon lens line up currently that can beat this. Nikon's offering 200 - 400 f4 is too costly for most of the enthusiasts. 2. The OS is very effective.

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

Pros:

Cons:

Just purchased the 150-500mm Sigma for my wife's Nikon. I felt compelled to test it against the 3 similar lenses we have. Here are the results, in order of image quality: At 300mm, f8: Sigma 150-500 Nikkor 300 f/4 Nikkor 70-300 vr Nikkor 55-300 vr The 300 f/4 and the Sigma were very close.
Pros:
- My tests show better than the Nikon 55-300 vr
- 70-300 vr
- 300 f4 (with and without a 1.4x TC
Cons:
- None yet

Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3
My caution is that most people trying to shoot things at long distances underestimate the importance of getting closer.

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM
The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM is a stabilized super-telephoto zoom lens; indeed it's one of only two stabilized telephoto zoom lenses reaching 500mm focal length, the other being Sigma's own 50-500mm 4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM.
