Great lens very fast shipping and best price

This is the lens I decided to purchase, after having tried Nikon's new 200-500. There is a lot to like, not least its fast focusing (which you can set to even faster if you need it, or slower, more precise if you want that instead.

Lovely sharpness; fast focusing; water-resistant

Weight; and the fact that the weigh moves forward as you zoom out

On paper, Sigma's decision to release two 150-600mm zoom lenses at the same time is an odd one. Both cover a zoom range that appeals to wildlife and sports shooters, but when you use the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports ($1,999) and the 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary , the...

Very sharp; Minimal distortion; Built like a tank; Weather-sealed design; Includes tripod collar and lens hood; Quick focus; Image stabilization system; Zoom locking mechanism; Available for multiple camera systems

Expensive; Very heavy; Relatively narrow aperture

While the focal length range of this lens immediately raises the eyebrows of wildlife and sports photographers, this lens is not limited to those uses.

Specification Over the past year or so, Sigma has been gradually updating their lens lineup to fit into one of three categories, Art, Contemporary and Sports. This super-telephoto zoom lens fits into Sigma's 'Sports' line-up of lenses that promise excellent optical quality, fast autofocus and a dust...

So how do we call the thing ? Sigzilla is taken so Sigsaurus maybe ? Seriously, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS | Sports is QUITE a lens so I'd like to start the verdict with a warning.

The Sigma 150-600mm ƒ/5-6.3 Contemporary is a very good lens, with an outstanding performance to dollar ratio. It's a great bargain, given both its versatility and the prices for the alternatives from the major manufacturers.

The best tele-zoom on the market. Incerdible sharpness and OS (optical stabilization system) which allows handheld shooting with such a long focal lenght. I'm using it with Sigma SD1 Merrill and the results are stunning.
