Focal length is actually kind of complicated to figure out without some serious scientific measuring, but I do like to compare lenses of the same marketed focal length and see which one has more reach.

I’ve conducted experiments with my Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens during my adventure shoots. Through these, I’ve discovered some crucial tips to enhance the sharpness of my photographs. Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. In the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens, Sigma employed an iris diaphragm with nine rounded blades, which has resulted in very nice bokeh in our view. We do realise, however, that bokeh evaluation is subjective, so we've included several 100% crops for your perusal. Sigma advertises both version of this lens as being “dustproof and splashproof,” but if you read further into the technical specs of these lenses, some questions arise. When I looked at the specs for both of these lenses, it immediately made me wonder if the Contemporary would focus faster, since it is lighter weight.Special thanks to John Lawson for his beautiful images! Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Overview As one of the ‘Sport’ lenses in Sigma’s Global Vision line-up, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | S is built for speed and optimum performance. The whole of the front section of the lens is a lot larger than in Sigma’s Contemporary class lens, and contains two rather than one top-grade FLD elements. The aim is to boost image quality but it comes at the price of size and weight, this lens being nearly a kilogram heavier than any other 150-600mm lenses, at 2,860g. All of these tests are shot at f/6.3. The reason I'm showing the tests at f/6.3 is that it's the most common focal length you'd shoot this lens at.

In this article, I’ll delve deep into how to use the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary, which I’ve learned from my experiences. Have you had your hands on then Canon 100-400 II? I would be interested in your take on whether you feel it is worth it to spend the extra cash on the Canon L glass, and how the shorter focal lengths may affect my photography goals… figure I’ll get looks at whales, and other Alaskan wildlife during the trip. I also have a Canon 70 – 200 F2.8, Canon 24 – 105 F4, and a Canon 24 – 70 F2.8. What would you recommend as a good wide landscape lens… I’d love to to have the Canon 24 aspherical, but that’s another 2 grand! I should also mention that I have a trip to the Bavarian section of Germany next summer…. I be interested in your lens choices (ones to carry) for each of these trips! Weight: At 2090g (4.6 lb.) (incl. tripod collar) plus 150g for the lens hood the new Sigma is much, much lighter than its predecessor: the Sigma 150-600 HSM Sports was 2860g (without lens hood). It is still not a light lens. The Tamron 150-500 is only 1725g + 95g lens hood + 155g tripod collar, the Sony 200-600 is 2115g (without lens hood or tripod foot), the Tamron 150-600 is 1784g + 108g lens hood + 200g tripod collar. [0] At the end of the day, the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens is bigger, nearly a kilogram heavier and about 50 per cent more expensive to buy. The key consideration is whether or not the extra size, weight and money pays off in terms of build quality, handling and performance. The Contemporary lens feels robust but the Sports lens feels even more solid and features a more comprehensive set of weather-seals, which will suit you if you’re not a fair-weather photographer.

Scoring

If you’re looking to stop the lens down, I’d use caution when approaching f/16 and beyond to avoid diffraction muddying up image quality — but this is true for every lens you’d mount. Also before reality hits and this lens is shipped and sitting in front of you, realize now that it is a big four pound 600mm (900mm APS-C) super-telephoto lens; you’re going to want a quality tripod or monopod if you are lowering the shutter speed and raising the lens to shoot for an extended amount of time. No amount of optical stabilization is going to help you when your arms feel like falling off from holding this lens up for the duration of a shoot. Autofocus Sigma’s service can change the mount of the lens between Sony’s E-mount and L-mount (at a cost). This is a unique feature that no other manufacturer offers. [++] Well, 300mm is most recommended for sports, i.e. F/4L. It is considered the best focal length that helps you capture great shots from far distances. If you want to do wildlife photography, then Canon 300mm is a good option. Conclusion
