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

Good range but slow low chromatic aberation excelent value for money
Pros:
- Heavy not as fast as the canon 100-400 F4L lens
- The material marks easily
Cons:
- Impresive up to 400mm gets a little weak after this OS works well
- If you stop down at 500mm just stop down one stop helps with the sharpness
- If thats a problem with a Digital SLR just increase the ISO used on 50D body

Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO AF
Sigmaniacs and assorted bloggers have, over the years, dubbed Sigma's longer tele zooms with nicknames that seem to have stuck. The 50-500mm f/4-6.3, for example, is known as "the Bigma." The 300-800mm f/5.6 is the Sigmazilla.

Pros:
- Very good color
- fast and accurate AF and very useful OS
Cons:
- Filter size

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.

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...
