The image quality is excellent with good centre sharpness even at maximum aperture. The optical image stabilisation is so effective that we had no problem handholding at 600mm. The look
Feel and mechanical operation of the lens have not been compromised
The editors didn't like
We could complain about the weight – 1.9kg – compared with a similar lens for a mirrorless camera that weighs 423g. But that's an issue of DSLR vs mirrorless and not a criticism of this lens

For photographers with an interest in sport or wildlife, particularly birds, who can't afford the expensive offerings from Canon and Nikon, this lens is a winner. Its competition comes from a similar Tamron lens with the same specifications and price. We...

What conclusions can be drawn from these field tests? Certainly the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports lens is a well made, well finished lens that is quite sharp and features excellent color rendition. Available in Canon, Nikon, and Sigma mounts, t...
Good value, lightweight, weathersealed mount, excellent image stabilization
Custom functions not programmable out of the box, small focus ring tough to use near tripod color
