Product Information

Vignetting. With a lens like this you’d expect vignetting at large apertures. It definitely has that. It’s relatively strong wide open, but what’d a bit surprising is that it stays up until pretty small apertures. It gets gradually less obvious as you make the aperture smaller, but it’s still fairly pronounced at f/14 and it’s not until f/20 that I’d say it’s all but gone. Its optics are wonderful; sharp and contrasty all the time. Most people make mistakes like shooting with not enough light, shooting at slower shutter speeds with subject motion, shooting above ISO 100 or at smaller than f/11 which lead to softer images regardless of your equipment. For best results I shoot this lens always wide-open at ISO 100 if at all possible for the sharpest results. Shooting handheld in dynamic scenarios? The Optical Stabilizer system dramatically reduces camera shake, empowering you to produce sharper, stable images even without a tripod. Oct 4: If you shoot with a Ricoh GR camera, whether film or digital, Pentax/Ricoh have announced the 2023 GR Photo Festival 2023. You can find information about entering it here.

After further testing, Sigma has concluded both autofocus and optical image stabilization (for applicable lenses) work 'without any issues' on the following lenses when used with Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras via the EF-EOS R mount adapter or Control Ring EF-EOS R mount adapter: OFF: Only use this if you're on a very sturdy tripod, or if you're making exposures longer than about a second. Please note that this lens is not compatible with film SLR cameras except for the Canon EOS-1V and Nikon F6 The Fujinon XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens has opened up the Fujifilm X-mount to wildlife and sports photographers who don't just want a long lens – they want an easy-to-carry, affordable, and fast-focusing long lens. The performance of the Fujinon XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR is all of these things, and great for the price point. If you're a Fujifilm user, you can now get even closer to subjects that are small, speedy, or elusive. See our full Fujifilm XF150-600 F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR review. How we test lenses

Frequently Asked Questions

AF: Auto Focus. You have auto focus, and also have instant manual focus override by turning the focus ring at any time. Like all Nikon and Canon lenses, if you're in continuous AF(AF-C on Nikon or SERVO on Canon cameras) the AF system will take over again as soon as you let go of the manual focus ring.

Sports lens has dust & splash proof "construction" while the Contemporary has a dust & splash proof "mount" Since the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports is available on both the Sony E-mount as well as for L-mount cameras from Leica, Panasonic and Sigma, our conclusions will differ depending upon the mount, even though it's basically the same lens for both platforms. Discover the world of advanced photography with the Sigma Telephoto Zoom Lens, where innovative engineering meets impeccable design. This lens isn't just a tool; it's your pathway to creating visuals that resonate. Finally, the 'S' position stands for "Smooth", and as its name would suggest this reduces the torque substantially. The lens will definitely exhibit creep if pointed upwards or downwards too much in this setting, but the zoom can be adjusted with much less force. So little, in fact, that you can adjust focal length not just by turning the zoom ring, but also in a push-pull fashion by gripping the lens in front of the zoom ring, just behind the lens hood.The difference between the Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS going up to 600mm versus the Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC reaching “only” 500mm is visible but might not be the decisive factor for choosing a zoom lens. If the image at 500mm is sharp enough, cropping a 42MP shot at 500mm to match the angle-of-view at 600mm still nets you around 29MP. This might well be enough for the intended purpose. Dust and moisture-resistant, this tough lens is one of the most affordable telephoto zooms available for DSLR camera owners. Measuring 26cm in length and weighing only 1930g, this lens is relatively lightweight and compact considering its focal range. Compatible with 95mm filters, this lens is almost 1kg lighter than Sigma’s 150-600mm Sport version. With such a huge zoom range, this is two lenses in one. It can replace both a 70-200mm and a 200-600mm superzoom all in one lens. Still, I am not in any way implying that the 150-600mm lenses are no good. In fact, this particular design produces surprisingly great images overall, with sharpness that one often cannot match when using shorter focal length lenses and teleconverters. The newer Nikkor 80-400mm VR for example, just does not couple well with teleconverters and there is a dramatic drop of AF reliability at the long end with the 1.4x TC, which not only maxes out at 560mm, but also slows the setup down to f/8. Manual focus is excellent. It has a direct-coupled mechanical manual focus ring you may move at any time for instant manual focus override. It works in any position of the AF-MO-MF switch.
