## Overview

The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM is a robust telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon DSLR cameras, delivering ultra-telephoto reach with advanced optical stabilization and quiet, fast autofocus. Featuring specialized low dispersion glass and multi-layer coatings, it ensures sharp, high-contrast images across the zoom range. Ideal for wildlife, sports, and landscape photography, it comes equipped with essential accessories like a tripod collar and lens hood, plus teleconverter compatibility for extended focal lengths up to 1000mm.

## 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: Already in love! Superb image quality and optical stabilization - I've only had this lens for 24 hours, so any reliability issues aren't taken into consideration at this point. I am solely rating this on my first 3-hour hike with this lens, using my Nikon D5100. First of all, it's massive and weighs a lot. Be prepared to tire out your arms a little, taking this on a hike or walk, but it didn't bother me too much. First impressions: -Solid build, as always with Sigma. Heavy, but looks and feels very sturdy. The focus ring, zoom, and switches are all smooth and well-made -Incredible image quality. I took a couple hundred pictures of birds, chipmunks and prairie dogs and they all exceeded my expectations once I loaded them onto my computer. The images were so sharp from the lens (handheld on cloudy day) that I could reduce the noise from using a high ISO drastically and my images turned out beautifully. The optic stabilization seems to be top-notch. The color and contrast are SUPERB. I have not noticed any image quality issues. -I have not seen ANY problems at 500mm yet. The 500mm images I shot look nice and sharp. I did not close my aperture any more than f/11, so I do not know how it performs at narrow apertures. I typically shot around f/9 with 2000 ISO, between 400-500mm. Normally, 2000 ISO adds too much noise on my D5100 but with the lens it wasn't an issue. -Autofocus is incredibly quiet So far so good. If I decide this lens isn't as good as I thought, I'll change my rating. At the moment, it's a new favorite. UPDATE: 18 months of use. This is still a great lens. As a telephoto, you should probably shoot with a fast shutter. I find my images to be reliably high quality at 1/1,000 or faster, so this lens works best with a body that is good in low light. Focus can be somewhat unreliable in low light, so just be careful and check yourself when the light isn't great. When used properly (accurate focus, fast shutter) the images are tack sharp and beautiful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
