Sigma 745101 150 - 600 mm F5 - 6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Canon Mount Lens, Black

Product Information

The Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports is a long telephoto zoom designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras with Sony E and Leica L-mounts. Announced in July 2021, it complements Sigma’s 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary for those who need more reach. I missed countless shots that week when I'd pull over and see a fox in the snow that only gave me a few seconds to shoot it before it ran away. The focus ring is 15mm wide and is located just in front of the tripod mount. It also has a rubberized surface, moves smoothly, and can easily be operated with one finger. AF-operation and image stabilization of the Sigma 150-600 DN is inaudible if you record video with the built-in microphone. If you see it is hard, then don’t worry, as it is effortless and helps you get the most out of your lenses. It is like something you already do, and you can use your method to do it.

If this crop is about 12" (30cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same extreme magnification would be about 58×87" (4.8×7.2 feet or 1.5×2.2 meters). Now, dive in and get ready to know several aspects. What is the Difference Between Sigma Art, Sports Lens, and Contemporary?

The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens has a large focus ring, and it is ridged for easier grip too. There are hard stops at both ends of the range, making it easier to set focus at infinity. Polariser users should be pleased that the massive 95mm filter thread doesn't rotate on focus. Also, remember that the Contemporary lens is about half the cost of the Sport, so if something did ever happen…. you could just buy another and not be out any money from what you would have paid for one Sport lens. Again, with an APS-C camera body, distortion with this super-telephoto is not seen. Full-frame cameras will likely have a little bit of pin cushion distortion, but I wouldn't expect enough to cause a hit to image quality when adjusted in post-processing. This is a very sharp lens, as good as Nikon's 200-500mm. The only limitation to picture sharpness will be your skill as a photographer. Sigma 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens for Canon EF is a mounted lens with a full-frame format.

NOTE: Beforepurchasing the 1.4x TC, make sure the camera will autofocus at f/8. Many entry model DSLRs will not autofocus above f/5.6, so while this bundle may fit those cameras, manual focus will be necessary. Other models may only autofocus on the center focus point, and still others may have a limited number of focus points with the 1.4x TC. I am not set up to test to see if it's true to 600mm, but the focal length on all three lenses seems to have exactly the same reach.When used on an APS-C camera, it sees the same angles of view as a 90-900mm lens sees when used on a full-frame or 35mm camera. But after spending a lot of time with both of these lenses, I found that ease of use was one of my biggest complaints with the Sport version of this lens. Well, 300mm is most recommended for sports, i.e. F/4L. It is considered the best focal length that helps you capture great shots from far distances. If you want to do wildlife photography, then Canon 300mm is a good option. Conclusion

The Sigma 60-600mm covers a uniquely huge zoom range. It's also super-sharp, even in the center at 600mm, and focuses fast. If you don't mind the huge size, weight and expense, it's a swell lens. The lens is priced at 1399 EUR / 1499 USD / 1199 GBP and so far only available for Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount. But I’m pretty sure Sigma is working on Z- and RF-mount versions of their lenses too. On the other hand I do not see the necessity of the standard option since in the position C OFF and OS in position OS1 we have the OS in Standard mode! Chromatic aberrations, typically seen as purple or blue fringes along contrasty edges, are only conspicuous by their almost complete absence from our test shots. Light Fall-off Built in OS (Optical Stabiliser) with accelerator sensor which enables panning photography in both vertical and horizontal positions.The rule of thumb when shooting with long focal lengths is to set the shutter speed equal to, or greater than the focal length, so remember that when by adding the 1.4x TC to a 600mm, one is now shooting at 840mm on a full frame, and 1260 mm on a crop sensor. For sharp images, a shutter speed over 1/1000th of a second is a must. One of the questions that often pops into my mind is whether I need to calibrate the Sigma lens. The answer is pretty YES. I will point out that Sigma advertises the Sport as having “twist and push-pull” functionality for zoom, but the Contemporary is advertised as only “twist.” Yes, I use the older -II extenders; they're all the same inside even if Canon changes the paint color on the outside. Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more.
