Sigma 150–500mm f/5–6.3 APO DG OS HSM
Sigma continues to innovate with their 150–500mm f/5–6.3 APO DG OS HSM ultra-telephoto lens. While designed for full-frame sensors, it's equally at home when used with smaller APS-C sensors. That's a lot of flexibility for one lens.
Pros:
- Wide focal length latitude
- optical stabilization
- reasonably priced
Cons:
- Not the best choice for consistent low-light work

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 RF DG OS lens
The 150-500 mm is Sigma 's very popular long telezoom lens with optical image stabilisation. It comes with fittings both for Canon AF and Nikon AF. Its minimum focusing distance is 220 cm so it is not a lens for enclosed spaces, but more for the grand outdoors.

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.

pretty good value for money
I've tested this lens on my D60 and it is really very good. I'"m planning to buy this as a walk-about tele lens in place of my 55-200 nikkor VR that I'm using with a teleconvertor. (Wont need a tele on this!
Pros:
- super tele range
Cons:
- Costlier than 170-500
- Too slow for night

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.

Great value. Decent lens. Poor judgement!! The worst customer service.
This is a great value for a long lens!! BUT!!!!!! The price you pay does not include Sigmas' approval for what you may think is a defect. We have all heard of the term "creeping"... referring to a lens that is set at a distance... then drifts...

REVIEW: Sigma 150-500mm f/5.6-6.3 DG HSM OS
The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM is the company's latest offering in the extreme telephoto zoom budget marketplace and it kicks in with a few eyebrow raising surprises! Replacing the 170-500mm model that is now quite long in the tooth the new lens has a good specification for its price.
Pros:
- Fast focusing
- Good stabilisation system
- Excellent value for money
- Relatively compact
Cons:
- OS system slightly noisy
- Tripod foot could be half inch longer to make more comfortable handle
