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.

Upgrade from my Tamron

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-05-25

I recently bought this Sigma lens after damaging my 150-600 Tamron. I am strictly a bird photographer. I owned the 150-600 Tamron G1 for a decade. The Tamron has been a great lens for me all these years. That said, I have instantly noticed that the Sigma is a better lens. The colors are better & my pics are sharper! I am very happy with the results of my new Sigma!

Quick, fast & practical. 150-600 gave me the reach I needed

The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens offers me the reach I need at events where it isn't practical to be close. I spent the day with the lens at a morning 5K and a university track and field event. Overall I was very pleased. When fully extended the depth of field at the lowest aperture was shallow, when runners leaned into the finish line, their numbers were sharp, but their faces had a slight blur. Lens focused very quickly, even on the 100-yard dash. That's on me though to focus on the face. Overall very pleased, and looking forward to shooting wildlife.

Great lens

Great lens. Can't really be beat for the price point. The only downside is the weight , It is a very heavy lens.

Haven't had the lens for long, but love it on a couple days I had it out. Clean crisp photos

Exactly what I was looking for

After reading and watching loads of reviews on this lens, I am incredibly happy that I decided to make the purchase. It's taken a little bit to get used to for me, but I have zero issues with the lens. It is a tad heavy as expected, but combining it with a gimbal head and monopod has been quite helpful. I'm just getting into wildlife photography (from landscape/long exposure/street), and couldn't have asked for a better lens to begin with. You will not be let down with it's zoom levels, clarity, or build quality.

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.

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.
