Sigma 150-600 mm FIRST IMPRESSIONS for wildlife photography
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2020
- My first impressions of the Sigma 150-600mm CONTEMPORARY telephoto lens for Canon.
I was going on a trip to Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park and I wanted an affordable lens for wildlife photography.
This lens is heavy but wow, I was able to capture some great photos with it!

You may not be a professional wildlife photographer, but your presentation was professional. Nice voice, no annoying introductions and you got right to the point! Nice job.
i noticed that too. straight to the point. i thought she was going to start going on and on about other stuff and SHE DIDN'T.
I totally agree with you when you mentioned; 'I can't justify paying 13k for a Lens made by Canon vs (of course!) the Sigma. Canon is WAYYYY over priced and WAYY over rated!! SIGMA is a serious professional grade lens and I've used them for years without a single glitch!! Good choice and hope you enjoy the lens!
Indeed
Thank you for the review, Nicole, and wonderful photos! Glad to see you enjoyed the lens.
Thanks Sigma! I had a lot of fun searching for wildlife with this lens :)
Love this review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photos 🙂
I bought the same lens like a year ago and I remember the first shots i took were some birds bathing and the results blew me away. Worth the money
Great video and review. I really like the clarity in which you explain your experiences and reviews. Thank you!
Thanks so much Hernan!
Great video! Thanks for keeping it simple!
Very nice and helpful video very simply presented ! thanks a lot Nicole Glass (y) you have taken wonderful photos too...
Great review and very helpful - thank you !
Great shots and video. You are correct, that lens is heavy but is so much fun to use. I picked up a gimbal head just for using this lens, makes a world of difference. Can’t wait to see what you do next and Thanks for sharing!
Great video and yes I have had the lens for about a year and love it.
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your impressions
really great video. lots of information
Fantastic video - very clear and super informative with great shots as well. Well done!
Thanks so much!
Just wanted to say thank you for a really useful and thoroughly watchable assessment video. No infantile shouting, flashy graphics or awful musac - just really well presented valuable facts and experiences. Thank you again!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice review, beautifully documented....thank you for sharing
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
Nice review, Nicole; My Sigma is excellent; learning all the bells and whistles of this lens still.
Excellent Nicole great photos
Great review nice shots
thanks!
Nice and neat review, loved it! I have ordered the same lens and I can't wait to test it :D
I like your candor. Keep it honest and real. Thank you.
Beautiful landscape shots. I love Idaho and plan to come back again.
I brought this lens last July (2020) and have used it constantly since, I've definitely been very satisfied. After a little while I got used to hand holding it steadily and for longer periods, and since then have had little problems. I use it primarily for photographing Birds, in particular Birds of prey. It definitely performs absolutely flawlessly when in good light. I take it with me on most of my walks in natural areas and go out with it specially to photograph too. After the first few time going out with it I became accustomed to the extra weight and it doesn't really influence my walking range or anything. So in my opinion it's a great bit of kit and definitely worth a buy.
Thanks for a great review about your experience with this lens. I’m waiting on mine to arrive.
Nice!! Enjoy it 😊
Fantastic and honest review, thanks. Ed
Glad it was helpful! :)
As always thank you for another great video. I have been considering getting this lens for a while also.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Its so fun for wildlife :)
I appreciate your perspective. I’ve used this lens on a Nikon D500 for outdoor sports. It does well for that, too. But, yeah, it’s a hefty beast.
Nicole thank you ...listening to you helped me decide to get the 150-600 !
I bought the same lens and agree with you about the great quality, given the low price. One of my best photographic purchases.
Thank you. Lovely real world review ! Merci.
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Well done. I have just bought this lense and your summary is spot on.
Best and most honest 1st impression! Fantastic review.
Much appreciated!
Very nice photos! I've had the Sport version of this lens (6.3 lbs) for about 3 years. Love it. I have a Cotton Carrier to lug it while hiking as a chest mount. You lose your cool factor but it leaves your arms free. The Sport version has phenomenal weather/dust sealing. Been in terrible weather with it. But I do love getting some bucket list animals from a safe and respectful distance.
Well presented !! I enjoy your video, thanks thumbs up to you
Bought this today. Cant wait to try it on. :)
Thank you, UA-cam recommend this video to me. Subscribed. Great review and pictures. Great new year 2021 ahead.
New Delhi, India.
nice Nicole. thanks for the video.
Terrific. Thanks!
Great video and information Nicole! 🙋♂️👍
Glad it was helpful!
Using a monopod on a lens of this helps with the mobility issue and really helps with the weight. I have used this combination on my Sigma 150 to 500 for years. Fast to use and with the monopod collapsed easy to carry. Lense over shoulder pod for handle. Plus it is easy to pack.
great as usual miss!
Thank you! 😊
Nice vid, your candid intuitively is so nice to listen to. Cool
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I am considering buying this lens. You answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you.
Great review Nichole! My 150-600 should be here tomorrow and I'm stoked. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I bought this lens last year, love it, shoot wildlife early am, just after sunrise. Great results.
Thanks! Yeah it’s wonderful for wildlife:)
I too bought this lens a month back after contemplating a lot. Definitely worth the buy. Trying to get used to the weight. Like you mentioned, I get good shots with good light, otherwise, it's tough to be at a higher shutter speed to avoid any shake.
Very good real-world lighting and ISO examples.
What a really nice low key real world revuew, thank you.
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video. Nice review. 👍👍
thank you!
Great choice in lens and great photos! Yes, it is heavy but so well worth it. I never pack lite so it doesn't bother me until the backache later, lol. I was using mine over the weekend to photograph birds at a near by lake, got some scenic shots also. Really like like this lens.
Very cool story thanks for sharing😊
And you're a very cute young lady ❤️
This lens is deffo on my to buy list! Thanks for a great review!
Sure thing! I’m still loving it :)
Hi Nicole, I have had the Sigma 150-600 lens for my d500 for several years and I think that is an excellent wildlife combination. It is even better for aircraft in flight pictures. The d500 autofocus is very effective and complements it well. It is a massive improvement on the original Sigma 170-500. With new AI based techniques I find correction for excessive noise very good so the issue of high iso is not that much of a problem but lack of contrast can be. Unfortunately the weight issue gets worse and worse as you get older and now I am thinking of getting rid of my present set up for a much lighter option. Making rapid movements to follow fast moving objects in flight( dragonflies, kingfishers, RAF Typhoons, Spitfires, Vampires, and MIG- 15s etc) is awkward because of the inertia of the system as you swing it to and fro. I am finding it really difficult to find a lighter alternative with similar capabilities at a less than eye-watering cost.
Just got mine last week and can't wait to use it more often. Thanks for a great review.
Enjoy it!!
I just ordered one. Thank you for your video
Enjoy it!
Bought this lens when it first came out and absolutely love it.
What’s better 200-500mm or this?
@@greyfox2349 200-500mm is better. However the 150-600mm is way cheaper. Only pixel peeping can really tell them apart.
Waoww super lensa❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this lens..had it for a few months.
The best review of this lenses. I like the "Samantha Brown" first time there perspective
Thank you so much!
What better last name than “Glass” for a lens reviewer? ;)
Great review, Beautiful Pix and Video ,,, Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@NicoleGlass Making me want to go out and get one now :)
Thank you...very informative
Nice video and presentation. Keep it up.
Thank you!
So jealous of your adventure!!
I have the Tamron 70-200 G2 f/2.8 and it's quite nice to use. I just used it on my recent trip to Nakhon Nayok in Thailand for some Waterfall images. Nice and sharp.
Thanks for you amazing views on this lens
My pleasure!
Great down to earth review
thanks so much!
I have this lens and have to use a monopod as my arms will never be strong enough. Love your video and photos. You are so generous with tips. Thanks Nicole!
Thanks so much! Yeah it's hard to hold up for a while... I definitely get exhausted
just got this lens a week ago, so far i love it !
Thanks for this review.
My pleasure!
Very well presented video excellent.
Thank you!
Just come across your channel and love your enthusiasm. The Bison pics in particular were excellent. Subbed you and hi from the uk 🇬🇧
Welcome, and thanks so much! :)
Nice vlog, I'm thinking of buying one of these tomorrow
Update: I bought one... you weren't joking about the weight 🤣.. not had the weather to use it yet... can't wait...
Congrats on the new lens! Yes.... it's heavy! I definitely don't have it in my everyday camera bag, but if I'm searching for wildlife it's fantastic:)
This is a nice review and true! I had one, I sold it when I moved to Sony then now I back to Canon and I want to buy another one.... yes what a waste of time... Thank you.
Recently purchased the Tamron 150-600 G2 and do enjoy it. These two are very similair from reviews. We did pretty much the same research. Nice work
Thanks Nicole, very useful video. I have used my son’s lens but I think now is the time to buy one of my own - it should work well on my Nikon D500 withs it’s great high ISO capability.
thank you for this video!
Sure! :)
Excellent info, mahalo!
Glad it was helpful!
I've got the Sports version. Love that lens. Built like a tank and very sharp with good light.
Yes, I heard great things about the Sport!
U have earned my subscription
It is better than professional review, devoid of eccentricities, so always good.
Great video! I have this lens and love it as long as I have good lighting. The only thing I don't like about it is that on cloudy days, I can't get enough light. I usually use it on my D7200, but when I need to use a higher ISO I use my D810 but still can't seem to get the light I need even with using exposure compensation.
Girl that is a BIG lens lol looks super fun to creep on animals with it though! Also the time lapse stuff looks freaking amazing- those mountains in the background with the clouds oh yes
Haha it can also be used to creep on neighbors in DC! Jk. It's a fun lens to use. And I definitely enjoyed making time-lapses out there too:)
I got this lens also and it has an awesome quality for that price. I love it
Great work! Thanks for your insight and review. Im a big fan of Sigma lens.
PS I’m going to be in DC on Thursday.
Sorry I missed this (I was out of town myself) but I hope you enjoyed your visit!!
@@NicoleGlass No worries and I my plans changed due to a friend’s illness. I shot in Manhattan instead. DC is still on the short list. Love your national park pics.
I was close to grabbing this lens, I opted for the Nikon 200-500 instead (mainly for AF performance). I think Sigma makes fantastic lenses at a really fair price. Their 70-200 2.8 Sports lens is absolutely amazing. Waiting for them to announce Nikon Z and Canon RF native mounts, hopefully soon!
I have this lens and more recently the Sigma 60-600. I agree they are not light, but for wildlife photography (as you mentioned at the end) I train to use these lenses by making sure I have the muscular strength to control the unit. Using one of these lenses is like learning to shoot a rifle accurately: it takes muscular strength and breathing technique keep the lens still. So I do weights.
I live in New Zealand now, where macro mammals are a bit in short supply! Still, I shoot birds (the dominant flora) and they can be a challenge as they are often in the bush and flit around very frequently and quickly. One of my favourite places to shoot is a gannet colony located just outside Auckland (our biggest city of about 1.6million). It is probably the most accessible colony on the planet and even boasts a great beach and cafe nearby. I found the 150-600 to be brilliant at really drilling in to get eye shots, and the 60-600 is a great go-to lens when I just want to carry it and nothing else.
I was disappointed with the tracking performance when coupled with the EOS 5DMkIV - it just took too long to get lock when the birds were on the wing, but coupled with the EOS 7DMkII - which has a better tracking system, and offers a FoV equivalent to 96-960mm, I got the shots I wanted.
What a beautiful place the Grand Teton National Park is. The light and the location looks amazing. I love the images, especially of your Horned Owl and bear. I hope we will see further videos from your trip. I must say the quality of your images with your new lens looks very impressive. I think you made the correct decision in your purchase of this lens.
Thank you Wendy! Have you been there? I have so much video footage from my trip, I definitely plan to edit something together :) It's a photographer's paradise out there. Highly recommend the Tetons!
I just bought this lens. It will be here soon. Thank you for your review.
Sure thing. Enjoy it!!
Your animal photos are awesome. Thank you for the wonderful review of this lens from a woman’s point of view. I’m glad I found your channel and subscribed. I bought this lens a couple of months ago, It is heavy I’m still trying to get some good bird photos.
Thank you Leigh, and welcome!! 😊 Yeah it’s definitely heavy. Right now I’m shooting with a 60-600 and that’s even heavier... makes the 150-600 feel light in comparison
Thinking maybe I might get this lens now.
Choice between tamron, nikon and sigma.
But i like the way you presented this video in a pleasant to watch manner focussing on the weight and stabilisation issues with real life evidence and solutions.
I might be getting this one now.
Subscribed to see what other gems you've made!!
Thank you👍
Just went to Yellowstone and Grand Teton for the first time this past September. Could've used that lens! Thanks for this video and all of yours! I appreciate it and you!
Maybe we were there at the same time! I’m still dreaming about it. Wasn’t it just so beautiful? 😍
@@NicoleGlass Hi Nicole, we were there from 9/12 - 9/20. We spent the first part of the week in West Yellowstone and the 2nd part in Jackson. Absolutely LOVED Mormon Row with all of the bison and Grand Tetons. It was quite hazy for our trip from CA forest fires. I took my "vacation camera" Sony A6000 with a 200mm lens and wish I would've had a longer lens for wildlife. :(. I definitely would like to save for the lens you purchased. I have a Canon 5D Mark iii I use for the HS Senior Portrait Photography but will have to look into if your lens would fit on my Sony. LOVE the images you got!!!
Nice review. I bought one of these used on Craigslist and so far I'm really happy with it. Not too impressed with the IS, but it's OK. My experience with Sigma lenses, including this one, are they are very sharp, but the color and contrast ain't the greatest. Oh well. I have the Canon 400 5.6 and I like the image quality better, but I wanted more reach for birding, etc and this fills the gap nicely without breaking the bank. Nice that it becomes a 950mm on my 80D.
Thank you for the info God bless you
Your review is incredible!
I am hesitating buying this lens.
Thank you! Well, don’t rush yourself into anything. Maybe rent it to see if you like it
Looks like it might be a purchase for me down the road.
Hi Nicole, I have enjoyed your Instagram posts of your trip. I have been using the same lens on my Nikon D850 for stills and videos as you pointed out with good results. It survived falling off my tripod and hitting concrete at the zoo (ugh), although it may need to calibrated again. I still travel everywhere with it and I do have a Sigma 1.4 teleconverter I use once in awhile for the lens.
Great shots Nicole , I found your video very useful and informative , I use a Nikon D7200 with a Tamron 70/300 lens with VC , but saving up to get a 150/600 Tamron or Sigma perhaps ? I Enjoy your videos very much , you are a damn good photographer , so keep em' coming !
Thanks, nice video. I just bought this lens and a Sigma 1.4 TC which I will also use on my Sigma 105 macro.
Awesome! 😊
