## Description

SIGMA 150-600MM LENS NIKON 5-6.3 CONTEMP HSM LENS

Review: Sigma super tele for Nikon body - Well, over a year using this lens and I can't complain... To me this was the perfect super lens for wildlife, is not that heavy, works good and has great sharpness. This lens has been on my nikon body for almost a year... is the only lens I've been using in 95% of the situations. I try focusing in really dark situations and I got very sharp images. Auto focus is fast and accurate, probably not the faster on the market but is the faster on my bag so is enough for me. I preffer this version than the new one (60-600mm) When you are shooting wildlife, in general this is the perfect range for every situation. There's only few things that I found that are not great and can be better SIGMA Color rendition is not as good as the other zoom lens I use, because I found this SIGMA lens model has a blue shift, not a big problem because can be fixed on body or in post, but is an extra that I have to do. (I recomend do this on post because I notice is not the same quantity and quality in every light situation) Compared with the other zoom lens this one has 600mm and that has been really great. IS is really helpful, I can shoot 1/125 handheld at 600mm and that is great, with my previous 500mm with out IS I have to be around 1/320 This lens is not perfect, but for wildlife photography has been amazing to have it, probably a 12K 600mm lens has less aberrations and chromatic shifts but for this price and with the few issues If I have to, I will buy it again. I love this SIGMA lens.
Review: Fantastic lens for both wildlife and astrophotography... - I'm totally amazed with the way this lens shoots, both with the matched Sigma 1.4 Teleconverter and without... The highly rated 1.4 Teleconverter is also worth every penny, and takes 'No' sharpness away, I also believe only adds to it. Auto focus worked perfect also with the TC and is so fast. I'm using this wonderful lens mounted on my new beloved Nikon Z6 Mk2 full frame Mirrorless camera for both wildlife and astrophotography, including quite a bit of deep-sky work... The lens and camera are mounted on a gimbal equipped heavy-duty tripod I used in my Photography business for 14 years. After reading everything I could on this Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens, I also read so many who compared the sharpness of this C lens very close, and even equal in several cases to the 1lb heavier Sport lens which also costs $1k more... The S lens is probably a tiny bit sharper with it's extra glass group but for a grand more and a pound heavier this Lens has totally amazed me. I've intended for 2 years to finally purchase a high-quality Telescope and GoTo Equatorial tracking mount but simply haven't been able to chose which type, so this Samsung 150\210mm to 600\850mm (with 1.4 Teleconverter) lens has been perfect for the interim. Zooms traditionally being a bit soft wide open, as well as at the full zoom position are well known compared to Prime lenses and individual lenses each have their own personality for sweet spots... With this in mind I truly believe I've purchased a very fine piece... I can only pray they are all coming out of manufacturing with this great quality. As many have attested my lens is a tiny bit soft at 150mm yet still very acceptable, but from there out to 600\850mm its razor sharp... I've found f9 to be it's sweet spot, but f11 out to f40 are almost just as sharp, it's very close all the way including out to 850mm. One of the images I'll add shows two bucks measured on Google Earth at 3\4 mile and was shot at 850mm with the matching 1.4 Sigma Teleconverter.. The heat distortion was huge considering it was shot off my car hood last week at our record 16°. The image is a bit fuzzy but considering it was shot hand held off my car hood at 3\4 mile with so much heat distortion and 850mm I was impressed. I'll add a couple others as well. This lens is an amazing accomplishment for Sigma and is well worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and worth every penny.
*by B***S on February 28, 2026*

Super sharp. Exactly what I was looking for. Works exceptionally well with the FTZ II adapter on my Nikon Z5. Any the price I paid for the used in very good condition I honestly couldn’t have gotten a better deal anywhere. Sharp and worth every penny. I would have gladly paid full price for a new one in the box but for essentially half off what the other sellers are offering on here I couldn’t turn it down. Absolutely love it.
