I use this with the 7dii Its perfect cause i do not use a tripod. Its my fav cause its very versitile. You can see it and images in most my recent videos. Thanks for the good info.
It was great. I have two questions. Can I use this lens for the Canon 90D camera? The second question is whether this lens is higher in terms of quality or the 150,600 lens.
Yes will work perfectly with the 90D but keep in mind the crop factor in shooting with it on an APS-C sensor. I actually have never used Sigma's 150-600mm but this lens would end up being close to that in terms of focal length after the aforementioned crop factor comes into play.
Watching many reviews on this lens, as well as the 150-600 Sigma/Tamron and the 200-500 Nikon. I want to add to or replace my 70-300 Nikon. The only thing holding me up is the sometimes questionable focus tracking some people say third party lenses have.
I have to say that the 150-600mm Tamron had a very fast AF in terms of time to focus is concerned. As far as the tracking response, honestly its difficult for me to comment as I didn't test on any subjects with quick distance changes. I haven't personally used the Sigma 150-600mm but I've heard good things about that as well. And I'll also mention that the lens I tested was for Canon EF and not Nikon!
Hi Ben! Ohhhhh that's a difficult call. If it were me, the deciding factor would come down to the size, reach, and what type of work I'd be using them for the most. If you feel as if the extra 200mm reach would be something you absolutely had to have and the size of the 150-600mm wasn't an issue, then I've heard it's a great lens. If you need something more compact and still excellent in terms of AF and sharpness, then I would highly recommend the 100-400mm and save yourself a few hundred bucks. All that being said, are you dead set on Sigma? I also reviewed the Tamron 150-600mm a while back and was hugely impressed. Here's my AA link if you want to take a quick look. amzn.to/2ja4Vlj I also used the Tamron with a 1.4 teleconverter and it looked like I could reach out and touch the moon :) Overall though, I don't feel like you will go wrong with any of these. It just depends on your personal situation in terms of both subject matter and size requirements. Let me know if you decide on one and what you think!
Straight Talk on Photography hi thanks for the quick reply. I'm thinking I'd use it for zoo photography, bird/wildlife photography when I can get out and about and possibly some sports when the need arises. The weight of the 100-400 was attractive to me but for a little more money I could get a lot more reach with the 150-600. The weight of this longer lens puts me off a bit though as I'm more of a handheld shooter rather than on a tripod. Is the IS (OS) on the 150-600 better than on the 100-400? I do like sigma lenses and have their 105mm macro which I adore.
I can only personally speak to the weight and balance of the Tamron 150-600mm which was quite nimble at around 4.5 pounds. The Sigma 150-600mm is a couple ounces lighter than that I think. Both of those are outweighing the 100-400mm by about 2 pounds or so. Keep in mind too, that the 100-400mm doesn't have a tripod ring but if you plan on shooting handheld that might not be an issue. From what you're telling me you might get better mileage from the 100-400mm all things considered. Also don't forget that using your 70D will add a little more zoom(x1.6) making it essentially a 160-640mm lens anyway. The same goes for the 150-600mm. And if you decide you need a little more reach than that there are always extension tubes.
Sigma has stepped up their game on seals they have become more dust and water sealing with the contemporary line after such huge success with the sport models having the best sealing on the planet and then added that to the art line when they came out a year later
Thanks for this. It was just the info I was looking for to use my 100-400.

Great overview. Which would you recommend between sigma 150-600mm and sigma 100-400mm? I have a crop sensor canon (70d).
Thanks
