## Overview

The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM is a versatile ultra-telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon DSLRs, offering a powerful 150-500mm focal range with advanced Optical Stabilizer technology for up to 4 stops of shake reduction. Featuring three Special Low Dispersion glass elements and a Hyper Sonic Motor for fast, quiet autofocus, this lens delivers sharp, high-quality images ideal for wildlife, sports, and landscape photography. Its robust build includes a removable tripod collar, lens hood, and compatibility with teleconverters to extend reach up to 1000mm, making it a high-value choice for serious enthusiasts seeking professional results without the premium price tag.

## Description

This ultra-telephoto zoom lens covers a telephoto range up to 500mm and allows photographers to bring the subject close and short perspective. Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower. It is ideal for sports, wildlife and landscape photography with handheld shooting. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for chromatic aberration. This lens is equipped with a rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focusing capability. The addition of the (optional) 1.4x EX DG APO or 2x EX DG APO Tele Converters produce a 210-700mm F7-9 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens or a 300-1000mm F10-13 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens respectively. A removable tripod socket (TS-31) is included as a standard component.

Review: It's just what most everyone said it was...... - I received my 150-500mm sigma lens on Friday (it's Sunday night). After two days of shooting about 800 pictures (with a variety of subjects) I have to say that I am extremely pleased with this lens!!!! It's definitely a large lens (particularly when zoomed out to 500mm). I am certainly an amateur photographer but I have to say this truly allows you to reach out and get the shot you want. I really enjoy shooting wildlife and landscape and this lens really fills the bill. I certainly couldn't afford to buy the Nikon expensive glass for the super telephoto. All lenses that I have so far have been Nikon lenses and I have been extremely pleased with them. Their quality is very very good!!! It's just nice glass....no other word for it. So to say I was a little apprehensive buying another brand of lens (and putting $ 1,000 into it, well)......let's just say I've read just about every website and blog site there is on long lenses. This lens kept coming up in terms of the quality for the dollars. Well, I'm now a believer (at least based on this weekend. How well it holds up in the long run is yet to be told). But from what I've read, (and I do take care of my equipment), this lens seems to hold up well. too. All I can say is at least from an amateur's viewpoint, this lens is extremely clean and the images are truly crystal clear. I have used this lens with a tripod and monopod (I tried holding and shooting but when it's cranked out to 500mm, I just can't seem to get a consistent sharp image) but then keep in mind, I shake pretty bad so holding most any lens for me is difficult. Even given that, the OS on this lens truly does a good job of steadying the lens (I think as good a job as VR does on Nikon lenses.....but that's just my opinion). I also bought the Sigma Teleconverter 1.4 to go with this lens. While it does extend the shot some, losing the autofocus, at least for me, was more of a big deal that I would have thought. Perhaps over time I'll get better at holding and focusing (even on a tripod). I'll just keep trying it now and then. But I have to say it's really nice to be able to keep my mind on the shot and let the lens do the stabilizing and the focus. I can concentrate on the camera settings and the layout of the shot. As everyone knows, with wildlife photography, you don't have a lot of time to figure out what to do. It's take the shot or lose it. This lens by itself let's you do that. Anyway, if you've been wondering whether to try this size lens, all I can say is, go ahead and make the jump!!! You won't be disappointed in this lens.
Review: Good Lens - Great Value - I am writing this review from the perspective of a former user of the Nikon 80-400VR (2 years) and Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 (3 years). The Sigma 120-300 is incredible piece of glass that is even sharper than Sigmas 300mm f/2.8 prime. The Sigma 120-300 works very well with a matching Sigma 1.4x TC which is how I used it 80% of the time. Even with a TC is matches or slightly exceeds the 150-500 in the overlapping range but is obviously much faster glass and thus freezes motion and blurs backgrounds better. But the range is more limited, the lens is heavier, costs 3x more and doesn't go to 500mm which is what I wanted. The hood and tripod collar construction is inferior to the faster pro lens. For example, the hood can easily be crushed in your hand like a plastic cup, and the tripod collar cannot be removed without removing the lens but both are functional and quality is very acceptable at this price point. The Sigma compares favorably to the Nikon 80-400 in that is focuses faster since it has a built in HSM motor. 150-500mm is more desirable range than 80-400, at least for my needs, and I shoot DX format. I also own a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 which pairs much better with a 150-500 than either of these two lens mentioned above - the Nikon 70-200 performs very well with a Nikon 1.4x TC so I have a 105 - 280mm f/4 as well. With proper technique the Sigma matches and possibly exceeds the sharpness of the Nikon 80-400 but again, it has a better/different range. The lens seems sharpest at 150-400mm and a tad soft near the 500mm end so you definitely need to stop down with f/9.5 being a good compromise if you have the light, else f/8. OS works very well and unlike other reports mine (purchased in June 2010) does not make very loud clicking sounds when OS is engaging. It is important to wait until OS is engaged which may take about a second else your shots will not be sharp. The best way to tell is to look through the viewfinder with the shutter pressed halfway and wait until gyro is spinning and the 'obvious shake subsides'. Then squeeze, don't press the shutter by rolling your finger down. Tip, the zoom ring is stiff and can be aggravating to turn. However, instead of using the zoom ring to zoom, instead grab the end and use it like a push-pull zoom. This method works very well and very smoothly. Also, with long lenses you must avoid shutter speeds of 1/8 - 1/60 sec unless you are using some type of mirror lock up since mirror slap vibration with FL's over 100mm are a known cause of slight blurring. This is not a pro lens but a very good lens with a very good range that will take very good pictures if, and only if, you exercise good long lens technique. With manual focus a Sigma 1.4x TC can work if stopped down and when you are not after large prints but smaller, or especially web-sized images. With such a narrow field of view the slightest movement can cause blur - the nature of all long lenses. This lens is a great value, I just wish they could have made it an f/5.6 instead of f/6.3 and I think most people would not mind paying about 20% more for that half stop. Also, the lens has a zoom lock to prevent lens creep which is great. I only wish sigma also included a limit switch like the Nikon 80-400 has and which is very useful for faster focusing. Note: At the time of this review Sigma has issued a notice that there may be a problem with some lenses with regard to Auto Focus (keeps hunting) with serial numbers between 10674301 and 10972000. Mine is in this range but does not have the problem. If yours does have the problem it may be best to return/exchange the lens since Sigma service will return the lens to Japan to be fixed instead of repairing in the US and this can take 4-6 weeks - see report here [..]

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Telephoto at a Great Price
*by K***L on December 9, 2010*

Well, I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this over a year ago. The first time I took it out of the case, I was scared to death to even put it on the camera. I got over that pretty quickly. It's now the lens I use the most for outdoor sports photography. The AF is pretty quick, and the resulting images are sharp and clean, and I shoot 100% hand-held. Not once have I ever had any color aberrations (ie purple fringe) with this lens. I use a regular UV filter with it and the hood, and it's been great. So, the downsides... Well, it's heavy, but you get used to that. Its biggest shortfall is that it's an f5-6.3. So shooting indoor or night time outdoor sports is a challenge, even if you crank up your iso. I've used it for night water polo with some success, depending on the pool. The light reflecting off the water adds enough light that I can get some decent shots, but this is at an iso of 6400 and up on the Nikon D700. I've tried it at night soccer events, and even on a well-lit field, because of the size of the field, the extremely fast action, and dead light spots, it just doesn't work. I mostly use it as a sports lens, though have used it at the beach to catch surfers/boarders, also with good results.
