Thank you for the video I am considering buying this lens and this was so helpful. The only thing that I can see being a problem would be the weight but that doesnt perturb me. Happy photographing.
Hello from the other side of the globe! I just bought a new Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens for my new Sony A7iii body with the Sigma MC-11 adapter. I watched over 10 evaluation blog videos on this lens, both positive and negative. Your evaluation is the only one that was 100% accurate in detail of the lens. After having watched your video, I am thrilled that I bought this lens. I am the consumer who exactly meets your title profile: a new, budget conscious bird photographer. Having worked with shorter lenses for other applications for many years, I am not new to photography, but I am new to extreme telephotos. Thank you for an entertaining, instructive and accurate evaluation. Happy birding! If you come to this part of the world, look me up and we will shoot some birds!
Never been plane spotting. Try setting the AF limiter to 10m to infinity to stop the lens hunting and the stabilisation to mode 2 for panning. I'm not familiar with Nikon cameras so I couldn't recommend what in camera settings to use.

I'm just in the process of evaluating this lens with the Sigma MC-11 as I'm in the process to switching to Sony FE for full frame photography.
The video is now up on how I found the MC-11 and 150-600 works on a Sony A7r2.

Thanks for the bird pictures. May I know at approximately what distance from the birds they were taken, just to get a fair idea
I try to get no further away than 5 metres. Closer is better.
just got this lens for an older nikon d60. can you recommend what settings on the lens i should set at for planespotting?

Can we use sigma 150-600 contemporary with canon m50 mark ii ?
Yes with the appropriate Canon EF to M adapter.
@@PaulAmyes Thanks. Wouldn't it put a lot of strain on the joints?
Can work with Canon 5DMIV??
Yes if you get the EF version. I've used it on the EOS5d mk I, EOS 550d, and the EOS 6d with no problems.
Kathmandu??
It's an outdoor clothing brand here in Australia. I have also been to Kathmandu many years ago.
Man you need to regulate your audio, about blew my ear drums.
What is wrong with your audio?
It's terrible and inaudible!!
Surprising. You're the first person who has said this and watching the video again I can hear no problem with the audio.
Absolutely nothing is wrong.
