Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary Lens Review | Wildlife & Bird Photography

I finally purchased the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens! I went out for a nature photo walk with this beast of a lens and captured some photos of wildlife. I also give my first impressions of this lens: the negatives and the positives. If you have this lens, definitely comment your opinion on it and your experience with it! Paired the Sigma with my Canon M50 and my Viltrox Adapter.
Don't worry, the Canon M50 is still a lens I will continue to use frequently but I am loving using that longer range and sharpness with the Sigma.

Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy!

I contemplated for 2 years about buying this lens, and then I saw one-second hand for a great deal and a 2year warranty and I do not regret buying it one bit. The image's sharpness is outstanding. Agree that it can be a bit annoying to carry around for 3 hours or more, also the minimum focus distance is a pain sometimes. But what it's intended for it does exceptionally well. Birding, Moon, Wildlife I did buy a tripod and that does help, but I am a bit lazy to carry it with me. Look forward to your 6-month review of this lens.

I have this exact camera and lens combo! I would suggest to use the lens at f/8 and set the focus distance switch on the lens to 10m-infinity. This will give you sharper images and faster autofocus performance.

Congrats! Look forward to seeing more videos and photos captured from this lens by you!

Nice purchase. I have a 100-400mm lens but find many times I would like 5-600mm might be on my list. Your pictures are great.

Good work, i have a 55-250 i wish i could get even closer shots. That 150-600mm looks amazing around that golden hour.

Great results ! This is the lens i have been using the last few years waiting for the nikon Z 180-600 to finally arrive. I've gotten lots of great images with this lens, you will enjoy it :)

I have the same setup for my wildlife and I also struggle with the same problem but it is manageable. Best of luck and you are doing great job 👏 ❤

Can I just say that I wholeheartedly appreciate you letting the lens speak for itself for the first couple of minutes of the video. Your shots are absolutely amazing, and I like that you even included your "mistake" which I thought was pretty artsy too, but it also just shows what it looks like when *that* happens. Specs is one thing, but seeing it all in action that extensively is another, and that's something a novice like me really appreciates :D

in a couple of weeks im gonna have this lens on my hands, im so happy

[rvsmit]

Wow, you got some really amazing shots! The clarity is remarkable! You are going to have loads of fun with that lens. Now you will have to take it on an African Safari 🦒🦓🦏

[BrianDickie-nk]

Love it!!! Looking forward to more shots!!!

Thanks to videos like this I purchased the lens last weekend. It’s a great lens.

[residenteviljill]

ive had it for a year now, the only thing to do about the weight is to find a comfortable strap. im happy with it, theres no cheaper alternative for 600mm

[SanJuanMountainBob]

Looks good - nice new setup. The photos look good.

Relatively new subscriber here, and I was wondering when you would get something longer. Congrats! (Even though you have great images with the 55-250mm) I recently got into birding this fall and got the Nikon 200-500mm and the thing weighs 5 pounds! So I know that's a lot to get used to. Because of that, I also bought my first gimbal as well. Focusing has been a challenge with the long focal length and hand holding. It takes practice. You have some great shots here. Keep it up. Nice to see someone else going through the same process!

This is exactly the next lens I want to buy lol. Thanks!

Hi, I recently got a R7 and I'm hesitating about a telephoto lens for birds.And right now I'm hesitating between the Sigma 150-600 and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II.And I'm getting quite different information about the Sigma 150-600.In the R7 group, many people say that the Sigma doesn't work well, especially the focus, and some say it was soft.On the other hand, I've come across several videos saying that the Sigma works well on the Canon R7.

To make the sound better, I recommend the zoom h6 voice recorder.

All your subjects are beautiful, I liked the male Bucephala Clangula duck.👍

Sigma 150-600mm C series works very well with Nikon Z50 and FTZII adapter....Sigma 2x TC 2001 teleconverter also works very well in terms of photography and AF...Photo AF focusing is very fast in both cases...When it comes to video, 2x Teleconverter slows down...When 2x Teleconverter is attached, at 150mm f10...at 600mm it gives f13 value...regards
