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

Product Information

I can't see any as shot on my Canon 5DS/R or EOSR, which correct them automatically with the profiles which miraculously are available. Sigma’s service can change the mount of the lens between Sony’s E-mount and L-mount (at a cost). This is a unique feature that no other manufacturer offers. [++] With 35mm-equivalent focal lengths equating to 225-900mm with an APS-C crop, it's aimed primarily at still photographers looking to bring distant subjects up close, and will be of particular interest to wildlife and sports shooters. A dust and splash resistant structure *1 that stops water drops or dust from getting into the lens, combined with a water and oil repellent coating applied to the front element, gives you a peace of mind even in a harsh shooting environment.

Built for professional use, with its robust, dust and splash-resistant construction, this lens will maximise the resolution of any DSLR camera that it’s paired with. We recommend you using a monopod or tripod with the Sigma 150-600mm for increased stability and comfort, optimising your use of this lens.

The lens will definitely exhibit creep if pointed upwards or downwards too much in this setting, but the zoom can be adjusted with much less force. So little, in fact, that you can adjust focal length not just by turning the zoom ring, but also in a push-pull fashion by gripping the lens in front of the zoom ring, just behind the lens hood. The box and lens are completely unsealed. There is no way to know if anyone else has been fiddling with your lens, swapping parts and accessories, or even if it's a used lens.

Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens Product Videos:

A few short years ago, there were no super telephoto zooms featuring a 150-600mm focal length range. How things have changed... Capture the long-reach images you have always wanted with an ultra-telephoto lens—that’s the visual experience you will enjoy with the 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports, the first ultra-telephoto lens for mirrorless systems from SIGMA Sports line. The reason that you'll want to use the lens hood is that long telephoto lenses tend to have issues with flare, and this one is definitely no exception. And even with it mounted, when shooting towards bright light sources like the sun you can get a very significant loss of contrast and a washed-out look. As one of the ‘Sport’ lenses in Sigma’s Global Vision line-up, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | S is built for speed and optimum performance. The whole of the front section of the lens is a lot larger than in Sigma’s Contemporary class lens, and contains two rather than one top-grade FLD elements. The aim is to boost image quality but it comes at the price of size and weight, this lens being nearly a kilogram heavier than any other 150-600mm lenses, at 2,860g. f/5-6.3: It has a very wide zoom range, from 150mm, which is almost at portrait length, all the way up to extreme telephoto length at 600mm. But the maximum aperture depends on where in the zoom spectrum you are. At 150mm the maximum aperture is f/5. At 600mm, the maximum aperture is 6.3mm. So it’s not the fastest lens out there, but it’s in good company with other super telephotos that aren’t priced in the stratosphere.

With all of these lenses featuring identical focal length/aperture ranges and similar features (like vibration/optical stabilization), other lens aspects become the prominent differentiating factors. It also should work flawlessly on every 35mm EOS camera, like my Canon EOS 1V, introduced in 2000, and yes, I tried it on my original 1987 Canon EOS 620 and autofocus and stabilization both work great! 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. in the shorter and longer focal length ranges (with the middle focal length range remaining similar), an updated exterior design with metal construction, better AF and VC performance, I'd use a 105mm B+W single-coated 010 UV filter to protect this lens. You can pay more for a 105mm B+W multi-coated 010M UV filter or a 105mm Tokina dirt-resistant protective filter, but the difference is in fancy coatings that have a big effect on price with very little effect on pictures.

Sept 11: Lexar has launched a new line of affordably priced UHS-II SD cards, the Silver Pro line. Sizes from 64GB to 512GB, write speeds of up to 160 MB/s and read speeds up to 280 MB/s. From a sharpness perspective, the 150-600 Contemporary lens edges out its Sports counterpart until 600mm where the Sports version is slightly better. Full frame camera owners will experience roughly It focuses about as fast as Nikon's 200-500mm, but it's not instantaneous as are the Canon 100-400mm L IS II, Canon 70-300mm USM IS II and the Nikon 70-300 AF-P VR.

Overall, we'd term its autofocus performance as merely adequate. Unless you're on L-mount, where there are no close alternatives, you may want to consider a rival if you'll predominantly be shooting more active subjects. But if your subjects mostly won't vary significantly in distance from frame to frame, the Sigma 150-600mm will certainly do the job. In 2013, Tamron introduced the 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, an affordable super telephoto zoom with a huge and versatile focal length range. This is an off-brand third-party lens and may or may not work on your camera regardless of what anyone says. If it doesn't work, return it, or call Sigma, not your camera maker, for help.

As noted earlier, the manual focus ring is extremely smooth and well-damped – on a Panasonic L-mount body, you can tell the camera whether you want the focus movement to respond to the speed that you turn the lens ring (non-linear response), or you can have it set so that whatever speed you turn it, the focus shifts proportionally and repeatedly to the amount of turn (linear response). But with it mounted, you'll at least increase your chances of shielding the front of the lens from the sun in the first place. Yet despite being bigger, heavier and more expensive, Sony's lens has relatively few advantages. It's no brighter than the Sigma, and its focal range is quite similar too. In fact it's the 150-600mm which actually has a bit of an advantage at the wider end. A lens like this will likely see most use at the tele end which is identical for both lenses, though, so it's really something of a wash. Discover the world of advanced photography with the Sigma Telephoto Zoom Lens, where innovative engineering meets impeccable design. This lens isn't just a tool; it's your pathway to creating visuals that resonate. The 6m-∞ position prevents the lens from autofocusing closer than 6 meters (20 feet). Use this setting only if you're having a problem with the lens attempting to focus on irrelevant close items, or if for some reason the lens is "hunting" from near to far looking for distant subjects.
