Extremely Heavy, But It Has Its...
So far the lens works great. It is a little slow in lower light but not as bad as most people. The one negative thing is the cost of filters. If you want or think you need a filter spend the money and get a high quality one.

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM
The ‘DG' after the Sigma's name indicates that it can fit both 35mm film cameras and DSLRs. The ‘OS' stands for Sigma's own Optical Stabiliser technology, which uses moving elements within the lens to counter camera shake. The ‘HSM' stands for Sigma's HyperSonic Motors, which are used for autofocus.

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.

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.

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.
