What conclusions can be drawn from these field tests? Certainly the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports lens is a well made, well finished lens that is quite sharp and features excellent color rendition. Available in Canon, Nikon, and Sigma mounts, t...
Good value, lightweight, weathersealed mount, excellent image stabilization
Custom functions not programmable out of the box, small focus ring tough to use near tripod color
The Contemporary probably isn't the best choice for pros demanding the highest quality optics, cost be damned. Sports and nature photographers may be leery about taking this lens into any but the most pacific climates, which is why we'd suggest the Sport...
Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens sets the bar high for build quality, performance and for range of features among the 150-600mm lenses available at review time. With optical performance just a bit shy of the most elite zoom lenses, and with a...
welldone, wellthoughtout design of the casing, excellent or very good image quality in the frame centre across the whole range of apertures and focal lengths, good performance on the edge of the APSC/DX sensor, adequate sharpness on the edge of the full f
work against bright light could have been better, too high vignetting on full frame.
When you start comparing the list of pros and cons of the Sigma tested here and its immediate rival, the Tamron SP 150–600 mm f/5–6.3 Di VC USD, you find out they are by and large identical. Indeed you deal with almost twins, with the same parameters, pri...

Excellent telephoto reach. Very sharp. Includes tripod collar and lens hood. Focuses quickly. Effective image stabilization system. Zoom locking mechanism. Affordable.
Some chromatic aberration. Moderate pincushion distortion. Relatively narrow aperture. Heavy. Not fully dust- and splash-proof
The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary offers incredible telephoto reach, fast focusing, and solid image stabilization at a reasonable price....

Sigma's 150-600mm Sport is a highly desirable lens for sport and wildlife photographers who demand a super-telephoto reach without the stratospheric cost of big primes, or even the highest-end zooms from Canon and Nikon. The build quality is excellent: it...
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. While image sharpness on full...

The image quality is excellent with good centre sharpness even at maximum aperture. The optical image stabilisation is so effective that we had no problem handholding at 600mm. The look, feel and mechanical operation of the lens have not been compromised
We could complain about the weight – 1.9kg – compared with a similar lens for a mirrorless camera that weighs 423g. But that's an issue of DSLR vs mirrorless and not a criticism of this lens
For photographers with an interest in sport or wildlife, particularly birds, who can't afford the expensive offerings from Canon and Nikon, this lens is a winner. Its competition comes from a similar Tamron lens with the same specifications and price. We...
Abstract: If you are into nature and wildlife photography, you probably need an ultra-telephoto lens to photograph Singapore's smooth-coated otters or common plantain squirrels from afar without disturbing these animals. However, ultra-telephoto lenses tend to be b...
