SIGMA 150-600 Contemporary // My FAVORITE lens // IF only I could have shot weddings with it!!

Probably the lens that I use the most and love the most. A little hard to use in the studio but for my wildlife it is AMAZING!!


REMINDER - If you have the dock for this lens Sigma does update the firmware occasionally. Make sure you update it. If you are in town and don't have the dock bring your lens by and I will update your Sigma Canon EF lenses.

People have mentioned my comment "It is as sharp as the Canon 600 F4". Why I said this is first from printing hundreds or even thousands of shots from this lens for myself and for clients who have the same lens (many of whom I have focused the lens for them using the dock & micro focus on their cameras) and then also printing hundreds of shots for clients that have the 600 f4. When I print images on my large format printers and you cannot see a difference with the 150-600 over a Canon 600 then to me this makes each lens equal. Even people with the 600 f4 cannot tell what display prints in the lab were printed from which lens. I have had a few people with the 600 buy the 150-600 to add to their kit for the weight savings as they thought it was as sharp as their Canon also. This is from real people, shooting in real life situations and not just using test charts (I have never sold a print from a test chart but sell thousands of prints from real subjects that I photographed with this lens). There probably is a difference in a lab test situation, using a loop, not adjusting the images in post, etc. but I do not sell a test chart image or an unprocessed image. When I sell a print from this lens and the client is blown away by it I know I have it right. Second I have used the 600mm and from the shots I have from that lens I find the Sigma as good, again when compared as photos and not on test charts. Could be a difference but with what I have seen with this lens it would be very little or no difference. Finally this is my opinion and from my experience, take what you will from someone that has been doing this for 35 plus years and runs his own photography business. 😅
