hey, just wondering how does this lens compare to the Tamron 150-600mm? Im having issues with its focus, considering purchasing an optomizer to customize it. Love the sigma 100-400mm better, with the teleconverter. Much sharper photos than the tamron. Im disappointed, but thinking maybe Ill give it a go with a monopod, as that lens gets quite heavy.
I bought this lens for my 5d mark iv about a year ago and the images I've gotten have blown me away. No kidding. I do a lot of birding. Last trip out I got a male osprey carrying a fish in it's talons, in the air, handheld, os2 mode, which is one of my fave shots I've ever taken. It's a great lens and at under a grand, it's crazy how good of an investment it makes for your kit.
Hello, 👋Sorry for the random approach you seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you’re open minded to look into a new way of generating an income,it may or may not be a fit for you, but if I send you some info would you check it out?
Sigma 150-600 Contemporary "Real World Review": Thanks for the great review. I bought this lens a couple of months before your review and I agree with your opinions, except for one. At the 7 minute point you talk about the difficulty in zooming from 150 to 600 by turning the zoom ring. Solution- use the lens body's push/pull feature. I found this is much faster. Keep doing what you do and 'Shoot Raw'.
Being an aviation major and getting into photography to shoot at airshows, this review is the single best and most helpful video I've ever seen on this website. Instant subscribe! Keep up the amazing work and amazing reviews! Definately going to be buying this before I head up to Oshkosh this summer!
Hey, Jared. I really appreciated the review you gave on the Sigma 150-600mm lenses. I just retired and I've got free time to go out with my camera again. I keep teeter-tottering between the Tamron & the Sigma. I think that for the price, I'm leaning toward the Sigma. All your illustrations were a big help in making my decision. I've enjoyed all your reviews and demonstrations over the years, as well. Keep up the good work!
Had this lens for a few months now and love it. It's worth getting the Sigma usb dock so you can change the stabilisation to Dynamic, much more effective than the factory setting. Thanks for the review.
If the games are at night and most are you need a faster lens. The least expensive and probably the most popular is the 70-200 f2.8 with image stabilization.
Fro knows his stuff so as the video shows it would be a great lens for distance as long as there is enough light. At night even under the lights to get good pics you need f2.8 lens and in some cases an f4 w/image stabilization if the lighting is really good.
This review is hands down the best. Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She's so excited to get out and shoot after seeing this, and learned alot. I will have to buy another so we don't have to share! Thanks for this video!
I´ve got this one and I absolutely love it! I agree, it´s purely a nice-weather-lens and really shouldn´t be used indoors. Also it´s not as superduper sharp as a 12k$ lens but as you´ve said: one is able to get the desired shot. This is the best review of this lens that I´ve seen so far Jared (and I´ve watched many before I decided to buy it)! Thank you :)
I just purchased this lens and I have to say I’m surprised by it. A lot easier to handle and great sharpness. I had a canon 500mm f/4 but couldn’t handle it due to arthritis in my hands but this lens is a good replacement for me. I am very satisfied with the images it produces. But one you’ll enjoy it
The Sigma 150-500mm is my bird and airshow lens. With my full frame Nikon D610 or my APS size D7000, I get great shots. I am always amazed at how well the image stabilization works. This lens is best in full sunlight. In dim light, you will need a tripod and a stationary or slow moving subject. This is my only non-Nikkor lens, and is one of my favorite lenses. If you think you might want one, just buy it. You will not be disappointed.
@ 9:08 i was like wtf for a second there, a pan of a bunch of ppl taking pictures and all of a sudden right in the center a freaking giant among them ...he's just on a bench lol
Thanks I have now got the lens and I am blown away how good it is for the price, I have it on my Canon 90D and I can shoot low shutter speeds that I wasn’t able to before handheld.
as always your passion for photography shows, great vid Jared and you didn't hide behind specs you took it out and brought home the proof that its a great lens keep it up.
Really REALLY great review! Thank you for choosing the most entertaining -- even exciting -- environment I have EVER seen for any lens review! AWE inspiring in every way - Great review! If they had Emmys for RUclips, you would win big with this one. Thank you!
I've owned this lens over 2 years now and take thousands of shots and it blows me away how good it si for such a cheap price. I have a very good copy, and it's sharp wide open at 600mm, so I don't have to stop down to f/8 like some people say they do. The cameras this lens absolutely rocks on are the 5D4, 1DX and 1DXII. The focus is very fast on these cameras especially the 1 series and I've used for very fast action with great success. Sure AF is not as good as the Canon superteles, but it's 10% or less of the price of the 500/600 f/4. I'd love them to do an updated version that fixes a few things, like the skinny focus ring, a bit more powerful and faster AF motor, a lock button that allows you to lock at any FL and a better hood that secures more firmly. Other than though I think it's the best zoom supertele out there for the money other than the Nikon 200-500.
Hey Jarod, Did you use a filter with this lens? I bought one and company said basically I need a filter for it if I want it to be sharp? Just looking for another opinion. Thanks
I think this class of lens has came a long way. The 150-500 OS was ok. The 50-500 OS was pretty good (not as good as my 100-400 mk1 though which wasn't my best lens) but the new 150-600 looks epic. Might be adding that to my bag for my 7D classic for birds and such
At 18:00, speaking about AF: "...7D is consumer body...". When this video was released 7D Mark 2 had the best AF system in Canon world. Only 1DX had the same AF system.
Thanks Jared - I've watched several of your Real World reviews. I have been looking at this lens, and appreciate you doing a review for both full frame and crop. That helps alot, and keeps it true Real World. Thanks for thinking of us non-professionals who hobby shoot but don't have full frame gear!
+Jared Polin Yes, I loved that review, also one of your best,, But how does the contemporary version compare? AF speed and sharpness? Thanks again Jared,
+redauwg911 I know it's not a real world comparison, lab tests have shown that the C lens is almost identically as sharp in the center of the frame as the sport, with the sport holding a bit more sharpness at the center. the sport also has less pronounced vignetting, though it does have some. As for focusing speeds, my roommate has the sport and i have the C lens. his focuses a butt hair faster on his d810 than mine does on my d750. OS seems to be pretty much the same. we've gotten tac sharp images of still subjects hand holding at 1/80th.
I've been planning on getting the 150-600mm for a long time, however I was not sure if it would be worth it. This video is honestly the best video that I've seen and I've made up my mind that I am going to buy this lens.
Jared,Is there any need to calibrate the 150-600mm lens for focus correction or any other features given that it does have an available docking mount?This same question was removed from this comment section recently. Who does that?Richard
@JOSHUA STUBBS 7dmk2 is a good camera, but my gh5 can probably take it for everything. The gh5 is about the same price. The d500 is also a better camera for a little more money. If you are already invested in canon, look at the 1dxmkl or 5dmklll
You're downplaying how good the 7Dm2 is by calling it a consumer camera. It's a proper PRO body. The guy next to you probably can afford the 1DX and he's using the 7dm2.. there's a good reason behind that. I'd use the 7dm2 over 5dm3 for that air show any time. The only better body for that would be the 1DX IF you can fill the frame, of course. Thanks for a great video & greets from Croatia.
+Steve K Um, yeah, I know, what's your point? Maybe you misread my message or didn't get the point. He knows why he used it, I know it too, I commented on something else.
My point is: the guy next to him is using a 7dii over a 1dx because of the extra reach, not because it is a better body. 7dii is the best crop body Canon offers....just my opinion. I have a 7dii and I like it especially for sports but my 6d kicks it's ass in low light...
One quick question. Which gives better image quality at 600mm zoom position. Is it a canon APS-C dslr mounted with sigma 150-600mm contemporary lens or Nikon P1000 (at the same zoom position of sigma's maximum, 600mm)?
Great Video Jared. A little to add that this lens could actually zoom using push-pull action, which makes it way quicker than other manufacture's new mega zooms.
Do you think that the 7D mk ii is still a good camera? I want to buy a good used canon for light sports and landscapes. But with all of the new cameras coming out, do you still think it's a good camera?
Excellent review. Means even more, coming from a professional photographer who doesn't ordinarily like super zooms :) So anxious to get out and start putting it through its paces on my new R5 :)
I have the old 100-400mm, and wondering how the Sigma compares to it in terms of AF speed and IQ? Just like in the video I shoot airshows so the extra reach would be nice but I don't want to compromise IQ/AF for that extra reach. Thanks
I've been shooting with this lens for a year and a half with good results. After watching your video, I learned 3 new tips I never knew about my lens that should improve it's use even further. Thank you!
Ha, ha, Jared. I don't expect you to know everything, but those prop planes are certainly not flying 500-600 mph. Very few WWII propeller aircraft can reach those speeds and they also have to be in a dive.
Per the Rain man, about 500 miles and hour. Sounds about right to me and I work on planes. A jet? A thousand miles and hour. Oh, and I noticed that the props were frozen. I never for a minute was worried that the prop planes would fall out of the sky.
p51 could reach around 400 possibly 450 (using WEP). Modded with certain parts from today, the p51 could reach 500. In a dive, not modded, could EASILY reach 500.
I tried this one and the Tamron and my wife and I both agreed that using the Canon 100-400 and 300 + 1.4x (with a slight crop) was a much better set of lenses to use. Yes I microadjusted each lens and the quality just wasn't there. We used Canon 6D, 80D and 5DsR.
If you are very rich you will have a very big garden so if you wonna take a picture of your kids ,you need at least a 600mm lens to see them lateron in the final picture.
M.C. Grigg males are the typical white and gray that most people think of. The darker black and gray are females. With birds the females are usually darker and not as interesting to look at because it helps them hide and protect their nest.
Jared, after a couple of months of comparing the Tamron vs Sigma 150-600 it was this review that convinced me to go with the Sigma contemporary. Not only are your clips informative but you are very entertaining.
Looks like im late to the party but you don't have to use your zoom ring to Zoom, Sigma designed the camera lens to also have a push pull option that will not ruin the lens. it much better to do this and keep track of a subject then trying to use the zoom ring.
Jared,Does the 150-600 Sigma need any calibration for front and back focus as does the 18-35 mm 1.8 Sigma lens? Is this another Sigma lens with a docking station?Thanks,Richard
Hi Jared. I have just begun photography with a Canon 700D with kit lens. (18-55 mm & 55-250 mm which are slow to focus). Now I'm looking for a fast zoom. How would you suggest Sigma's 150-600 mm Contemporary on a Canon 700D? Or would you suggest a different focal length altogether would be more suitable and versatile for me (like 70-200 mm or 100-400 mm)?

Great review.
Just one question:
I'm out of business
Did you move to Canon?
Cause I remember that you used Nikon.
Maybe he got only the Canon version for testing...
A good test, I have found shooting fast moving aircraft incredibly challenging and it looks like you got amazing results.
7:30. Read the manual. You don't have to rotate. You can pull and push. Love this glass. I would recommend it to everybody.
I dont have this lens yet, do you actually push and pull on it?!

I've been shooting with this lens for a year and a half with good results. After watching your video, I learned 3 new tips I never knew about my lens that should improve it's use even further. Thank you!
Ha, ha, Jared. I don't expect you to know everything, but those prop planes are certainly not flying 500-600 mph. Very few WWII propeller aircraft can reach those speeds and they also have to be in a dive.
Per the Rain man, about 500 miles and hour. Sounds about right to me and I work on planes. A jet? A thousand miles and hour. Oh, and I noticed that the props were frozen. I never for a minute was worried that the prop planes would fall out of the sky.
I know, an not and. I've always said and.
p51 could reach around 400 possibly 450 (using WEP). Modded with certain parts from today, the p51 could reach 500. In a dive, not modded, could EASILY reach 500.
I tried this one and the Tamron and my wife and I both agreed that using the Canon 100-400 and 300 + 1.4x (with a slight crop) was a much better set of lenses to use. Yes I microadjusted each lens and the quality just wasn't there. We used Canon 6D, 80D and 5DsR.
very well done .
still your fun videos style but professionally executed
Thank you
Very nice review Sir.
In all these photos you have used polarizer filter or not?
You need 600mm for kids who are playing in the garden or backyard???????? hahahahahahahahahahah
Well, maybe if you wanted to take photos of your neighbour's kids :s
Or having a very big garden/backyard hahahah
I love how he said "You're probably gonna be shooting kids in your backyard". Maybe reword that a little bit? "Taking pictures of" maybe?
If you are very rich you will have a very big garden so if you wonna take a picture of your kids ,you need at least a 600mm lens to see them lateron in the final picture.
Damn straight, if the kids are out the back playing, don't interrupt them, take photo's from a distance.....
Great Video Jared... I would like your opinion on the choice between the Sigma 150-600 and the first version of the Canon 100-400...
"you're probably gonna be shooting kids running around playing sports or in the backyard. That's really what these lenses are meant to do". really???
+hikinenhirvi If you have a massive back yard, maybe lol. I think he just means it's great for fast moving subjects at a distance.
That feels like the most American thing to say tbh
Excellent review Jared. I wonder which mode were you using to take photos of the Blue Angels. Seems have you used TV mode, is it right?
who's here in 2021?
Hah you're so outdated. Who's current and here in 2024 like me

Excellent review - thank you. I use a D500 - would you recommend this lens or the Tamrom G2 150 - 600mm? Thanks.
Doesn't it suck to be locked in to that one hair style for the rest of your youtube photo personality career?
Great vids, BTW. :)
It'd be funny if he went bald
Great review, as always. Just purchased the Biggy Siggy and it is a BEAST! I am very happy with the performance on my Canon R6
i have never seen a black seagull
+M.C. Grigg It was a Juvenile Herring Gull
+M.C. Grigg remember, black lives matter...lol
M.C. Grigg males are the typical white and gray that most people think of. The darker black and gray are females. With birds the females are usually darker and not as interesting to look at because it helps them hide and protect their nest.
You racist
Jared, after a couple of months of comparing the Tamron vs Sigma 150-600 it was this review that convinced me to go with the Sigma contemporary. Not only are your clips informative but you are very entertaining.
So odd you waited over 6 months to publish this review, this could have helped me 4 months ago... regardless thanks anyways...
Looks like im late to the party but you don't have to use your zoom ring to Zoom, Sigma designed the camera lens to also have a push pull option that will not ruin the lens. it much better to do this and keep track of a subject then trying to use the zoom ring.
dam , i realy need to save mony to get some of this lens !
Jared,Does the 150-600 Sigma need any calibration for front and back focus as does the 18-35 mm 1.8 Sigma lens? Is this another Sigma lens with a docking station?Thanks,Richard
Heheheh 5.36 if you remove the lens cap your camera works alot better. :P
Hi Jared. I have just begun photography with a Canon 700D with kit lens. (18-55 mm & 55-250 mm which are slow to focus). Now I'm looking for a fast zoom. How would you suggest Sigma's 150-600 mm Contemporary on a Canon 700D? Or would you suggest a different focal length altogether would be more suitable and versatile for me (like 70-200 mm or 100-400 mm)?
14:23 wtf is outside the window
Underatade comment
looks like a small tram on an elevated railway.
Momin Khan its one of those planes with the banner on the end,?
I just picked up the Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3, for about the same price. I wonder if it has the same optics as this Sigma?
