  1. mr michael f palmer –

    This lens is a first class piece of equipment, it is heavy but not as heavy as people say. Make sure you have the USB docking station as the lens does require some micro adjustment for front and back focusing, you can do this on your own camera but the docking station gives a far better accuracy. I cannot fault this lens, the zoom ring is a little tight but I would rather have it like this as being too slack. The focus speed is as good as any 2.8 prime lens however, please remember that this not a 7-10 thousand pound/dollar lens but it does match many aspects that you would expect of such lenses. Would I recommend this zoom lens? – Yes I would and furthermore, Sigma currently have upped their game and are now setting design quality to match and better their main two big counterparts of Nikon and Canon. I now have to rate Sigma Art, Contemporary and Sports lenses as being as good as and in many ways better than the two main companies named. (Images provided by me are on a Canon 7D Mark 2 plus Sigma 150 – 600 mm Sports (after USB docking adjustments) and on a tripod with gimbal)

    I take wildlife pictures, mostly birds, and my cameras are Canon. I went with several telephoto lenses before going to my first 150-600.So 55-250, 70-200, 300 f4 IS, 400 f5.6, 100-400 II, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary were my previous lenses.I was always looking for more reach, and more flexibility, trying not to loose quality in the process.About a year ago I’ve got my Sigma 150-600 Sport (bought it here in ClickElectronics UK), and I think it has all that I was needing for the price I was willing to pay.Of course a 500 or 600 f4 can be better, or even the 200-400… but that is a cost I cannot pay, specially if I can get pictures that can be sell and published with the Sigma.As always, there are some tradeoffs. The weight is one of them, and the aperture is another. Even the autofocus perfomance is not on par with the big whites.But for the money it cost, I believe is one of the best options you can find to do some serious amateur and profesional wildlife pictures.In my case, I use intensively my gear, under harsh conditions, so the solidly construccion of this Sigma is a must, which made the Sport the best 150-600 option for me.I’ve bought too a foot replacement from Wimberley (AP-608) because I needed the arca swiss compatibility and the longer feet for balance in the gimbal. It was necessary for me. It is great.I sincerely recommend the Sigma 150-600 Sport for wildlife photography.I’ve uploaded some pictures I took so you can see what is capable off, and I’m sure it can be better in the hands of even more experienced professionals.

    This is one of the best value for money lens on the market. It is well built and a little heavy which you expect from a lens of this quality and price. Super auto focus and zoom lock. Thank you sigma !

    After using this combo for some time now often in borderline/critical light situations ( Birds and Nature, autumn low light, low cloud, grey in grey, rainy etc) I am impressed by all elements involved. The Nikon D7500 really is a powerful and affordable low light cam and delivers an outstanding overall performance in combination with the Sigma package ( and also the Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8 and the TC 1.4II!). The Sigma lens has no issues with the D7500, focus without the TC-1401 is very fast and reliable ( Result of full speed 7FS with adjustments to Nikon D7500 overall to max. performance for high speed is really surprising: 5-6 Pics are always perfectly focussed and balanced – for me a superb result compared to my previous ‘’quotas’’). With the TC 1401 it still all works perfectly with the Nikon D7500, focus works on all levels ( yes, also around f9 and higher – and at very high ISO’s) and you do get a ‘’reach’’ like that of an a 1250mm lens!! – just a little bit slower but still allowing for up to 3 FPS with similarly good results.Why 1250mm? Sigma is max 600mm & TC1401 =840mm f6, plus Nikon D7500 (APS-C= Sensor Size hands you an angle of view of 1.5x that of an FX camera resulting in the picture seeming to be larger/closer)= comparable to view through an 1275mm f9 (at full resolution of 20.5 mp and not cropped to a lower resolution coming from a 24mp body without a TC)Overall Sharpness of the Lens itself is excellent. Sharpness with the TC is a tiny little bit softer, but not as much as I had expected. Of course ,this all depends on the available light. In comparison to the D7200 (has 24mp but less responsiveness to low light) a picture under comparable circumstances without enlarging or cropping has no visible difference in resolution, ‘’blowing up ‘’ the picture to A3 still does not show a visible loss of resolution with the Nikon D7500 compared to the D7200.I also did a good few tests with a METZ AF-1 52 Flash over the distance of up to 35-40m ( 70-80 yards). Yes, even for birds (and a fox which probably had the shock of his life!) ! – they hardly ever seem to be bothered by a flash. The Nikon D7500 and the Sigma Lens combo work brilliantly for this ( even though this distance seems to be impossible for a Flash) – but for a single pic only. No series ( recharging time of flash) = Works, excellent results and of course enhances the lighting and sharpness of the picture a good bit – even over such large distances.All in all this is probably one of the best, just about affordable ‘’reach out’’ combo’s for Amateurs / ‘’Enthusiasts’’around . Highly recommended.

  5. David Wolsey –

    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.

  6. Service –

    Great for the money

  7. Jack Smith –

    The Best.

  8. Luis Ulbrich –

    you can do this on your own camera but the docking station gives a far better accuracy. I cannot fault this lens

  9. Vicky Aram –

    Excellent Sound and Quality from Sigma

  10. Cool Hand Luke –

    Fantastic lens. Heavy but for the reach and build quality I’m not disappointed.
