As far as the mechanical quality is concerned, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is, without doubts, a professional grade lens. Everything screams quality here but you also feel it ... in terms of weight.

I use this lens on both Nikon D500 and D850 bodies. The lens has a great build and is weather proof (I've had the opportunity to test that). The autofocus on these cameras is great with this lens and I could ask no more of a lens in terms of sharpness and general acutance.

The Sport version of Sigma's 150-600mm lens is the most expensive in our line-up, but also offers a premium build, fine-tuned features and an impressive image quality. Nestling inside the dustproof and splashproof barrel are 24 elements in 16 groups.
