This lens from Sigma's Contemporary range is lighter and more compact than the Sports version, and is more affordable too. It's available for Nikon, Canon and Sigma bodies and works with both full-frame and APS-C DSLRs.

It is a great lens I have used it for taking pictures for a ballet dance performance, the fast and quiet auto focus and the sharpness give me a great impression to looking for more sigma lens.

While it may not be obvious from the charts, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary surprised us in a positive way - at least when taking its comparatively low price tag into account. Yhe lens is generally capable of delivering a good to very good quality in the image center.

As it has been mentioned in number of reviews all over internet the lens proves its abilities without iota of doubt. Here are my observations about the lens which has been used for 24 hours since purchase. 1. Silent focusing motor.

Build quality is superb, and image quality is excellent. It is much sharper than the Tamron 150-600mm which I have subsequently sold, as the Sigma is clearly a better lens than the Tamron in every way, most importantly in outright image quality.

When paired, the teleconverter and lens offer 210-840mm F6.3-9 zoom lens reach, with full autofocus functionality with most recent DSLR cameras.

I bought it for my Nikon d7100 but when I use it, one minutes it was good but next minutes it suddenly tells me the lens connection is failed. It's really panic, I have to return it.

THIS IS BRILLIANT, I'M A SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER OF 27 YEARS AND THIS LENS ON MY 5D MKIII IS AS GOOD AS MY COLLEAGUES 100-400 MK II AND 400MM,500MM AND 600MM I'M NOT KIDDING, IT'S REALLY QUICK,FOLLOW FOCUSES WITHOUT LOSING THE SUBJECT IT'S SO CLEAR AND CRISP,IT'S QUITE HEAVY, BUT I LIKE THAT EVEN ON ISO...

On opening the item i was suprised to find it comes with it's very own well padded carry case, Barrel lens hood and rubber cover to replace the tripod mount when removed, The lens is quite heavy so a tripod is a must for prolonged use.

This lens has an excellent range for birds and wildlife, it appears well-built, and it focuses quickly on still subjects. It could be a real bargain for someone who doesn't use it on a tripod. The tripod collar's foot is very short, apparently not very strong, and there is only one point of support.
