Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporar... Overview

By B&H Photo's

Offering an impressively versatile range with a portable form factor, the Canon EF-mount 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM from Sigma is a Contemporary-series telephoto zoom characterized by its sophisticated optics and flexible handling. One FLD element and three SLD elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range and a Super Multi-Coating also helps to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

Balancing the optical design, this lens also features a Hyper Sonic Motor, which provides especially fast and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override. An Optical Stabilizer also works to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Additionally, a removable, rotating tripod collar is included to suit working atop a tripod or monopod.

As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
Telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 240-960mm equivalent focal length range.
One F Low Dispersion (FLD) and three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements are featured in the optical design and help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.
A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), along with a rear focus system, realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.
Optical Stabilizer system minimizes the appearance of camera shake to benefit making sharper imagery when shooting handheld.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Dust- and splash-resistant design suits this lens's use in inclement weather conditions and a water- and oil-repellent coating has also been applied to the front element to aid in cleaning.
Constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.
Zoom lock switch can be activated at any focal length to prevent accidental and unwanted zoom adjustment.
Compatible with optional Sigma TC-1401 1.4x and TC-2001 2x teleconverters.
A removable, rotating tripod collar offers well-balanced support for photographing atop a tripod or monopod with either vertical or horizontal shooting orientations.
This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.

My early retirement present!

By Linda
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-20

Well, I intended to wait until I was retired to buy a longer lens for my Canon Rebel T-6. I had been using the kit long lens (75-300mm) since I purchased the camera in 2018. A photographer friend suggested I step up my game and sent me the link to this camera. I've only used it once and was very pleased with the photos I took but learning how to handle/carry this lens will need to be mastered first. I plan to get a wider strap or harness for when I am retired and will have many more photo outings - that may help with the weight. I am a hobby photographer who takes pics of nature/wildlife and use the photos in my blog about walking. It is good to treat yourself and I am glad I did not pass up this treat!

Great product for the price

Impressive lens, I love it indeed!

I had for many years the Nikon original 300 f2.8, 400mm f 2.8 and 500mm f 4 all on manual focus models. I used to go on African safaris regularly and the weight to carry the 400 or 500mm on airplane was always a problem. One year ago I decided to buy the 150-600mm Contemporary lens and I didnt regret it a bit, the quality is really impressive! I don't know if my sample lens is one over the curves, but the quality I got with it match the 400/500mm nikon that I have previously. I use it with the D850 and D700 cameras and I discovered that the secret to attain superb quality is to use a high shutter speed to avoid any blurred images. I recommend this lens, if you got a really well factory calibrated lens you will be very happy indeed!

Package arrived when expected. The lens so far has exceeded my expectations for the price point.

Amazing, But! Canon R series will make it useless

By joseph

I hate that I had to return this well-built lens. But if you are using the R series bodies from Canon. I use the Canon R5, This lens is not for you. If you get one good shot in 20 you are lucky, The auto-focus bounces around so badly that unless you put it on manual mode it will not stop. I thought maybe I had a lemon and put in for a defective return. After looking threw forums and reviews I saw Canon R series for whatever reason affect its ability to properly function. It truly is a shame. again the issue lies with Canon, not Sigma. this lens is amazing.

Love it

I'm an amateur photographer I bought it just because I take photographs of wildlife in my area and nature, it's a phenomenal lens. I can't wait to get more use out of it still learning the craft, but still on all of its power.

Should I get Teleconverter with sigma 150-600
Asked by: Pam
Whether or not you “should” depends entirely on what kind of shooting you want to do, whether the potential loss of sharpness and/or contrast, and the real loss of a stop or two, is worth being able to reach that far. Plus, you have to consider what body you’ll be using and it’s ability to autofocus at stops lower that f8.

What's the difference between the sport and the contemporary
Asked by: Geoffrey
Basically it's the materials and the build of the lens ... the sport is more durable, water and dust resistant. The sport is definitely built for long outdoor exposure to the elements. All that being said I shoot surfing with the Contemporary model all the time and have had no issues. I just limit it's exposure on high wind (dusty) or rainy days. I'm very happy with mine.

question

Any info on compatibility with Metabones adapter?
Asked by: Anonymous
Metabones does not list that lens as compatible.Best is to use the Sigma lens converter. And at this time they have this one, Sigma MC-11 Mount Converter/Lens Adapter (Sigma EF-Mount Lenses to Sony E) B&H # SIMC11C MFR # 89E965.
