The Sigma 150 500mm Overview - A Zoom Lens That Is Big In Size, Power And Value For Money

 

This Sigma 150 500mm review will tell you about an ultra-telephoto lens which covers a telephoto range of up to 500mm and allows photography enthusiasts to bring the subject very close and compress the view in their pictures.

Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) feature offers the use of shutter speeds just about 4 stops slower. It is fantastic for sports, wildlife and landscape photography with mobile shooting.

Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements offer outstanding modification for chromatic aberration. This lens is equipped with a rear focus system which reduces fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing.

The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting. High picture quality is assured through the complete zoom range.

The Sigma 150 500mm features HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which assures a quiet and high-speed AF and also full-time manual focusing capability.

The addition of the (optionally available) 1.4x EX DG APO or 2x EX DG APO Teleconverters produce a 210-700mm F7-9 MF ultra-telephoto lens or a 300-1000mm F10-13 MF ultra-telephoto lens correspondingly.

Despite the fact that this lens is comparatively big and heavy, it is quite easy to mount onto any DSLR body and remarkably easy to capture hand held pictures. This lens is perfect for the heavier 5D and 7D bodies but does become a bit top heavy on the lighter entry level DSLR bodies like the 500D and 1000D.

For individuals who would prefer to use this zoom lens on a tripod, the tripod mounting was easy to affix and take out from the quick release plate.

The autofocus was quick and generally precise in many shooting circumstances and the lens focusing and zoom rings moved with little resistance. The truth is, some individuals like inflexible focus rings and some like smooth.

Individuals who purchase the Sigma 150 500 lens will find a satisfying compromise.
