Sigma 150–500mm f/5–6.3 APO DG OS HSM

 

Sigma continues to innovate with their 150–500mm f/5–6.3 APO DG OS HSM ultra-telephoto lens. While designed for full-frame sensors, it's equally at home when used with smaller APS-C sensors. That's a lot of flexibility for one lens.

Wide focal length latitude; optical stabilization; reasonably priced

Not the best choice for consistent low-light work

True to its reputation, Sigma delivers the goods when it comes to optical quality, as well. Features like improved DG lens design that correct for various aberrations; specially formulated multicoated glass for the best color balance possible with...

Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO AF

 

Sigmaniacs and assorted bloggers have, over the years, dubbed Sigma's longer tele zooms with nicknames that seem to have stuck. The 50-500mm f/4-6.3, for example, is known as "the Bigma." The 300-800mm f/5.6 is the Sigmazilla. It prompts the question:...

Sigma 150-500 mm f/5.0-6.3 APO DG OS HSM

 

Last year, the PMA fair saw a Sigma Corporation offensive - this company presented as many as five new lenses, most of them equipped with the image stabilization mechanism. Among them was a model called Sigma 150-500 mm f/5.0-6.3 APO DG OS HSM. One...

good or very good picture quality in the range of 150-370 mm ; solid barrel and good workmanship quality ; good control over chromatic aberration ; low vignetting ; low distortion ; quite well-controlled astigmatism ; low coma ; autofocus silent and...

weak frame edge picture quality at wide aperture ; too low picture quality at 500 mm focal length ; f/6.3 already from 290 mm ; average work against the bright light ; huge filters diameter
