This Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO Lens is an ultra telephoto zoom lens ideal for nature, wildlife, or sports photography. This zoom range translates into an equivalent range of 225-750mm when used with a Nikon digital SLR camera. The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 3-4 stops faster. This allows handheld telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. The use of the OS (Optical Stabilizer) system, HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), APO apochromatic design, three elements of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, and multicoated optics all enable this lens to provide a high level of performance throughout its entire zoom range, as well as versatility. A rear focus system insures quick, convenient manual focus and a non-rotating front barrel. The improved DG lens design corrects for various aberrations. This lens is specially coated to get the best color balance, while cutting down on ghosting caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. The lens provides the utmost correction against lateral chromatic aberration, which is a serious problem for digital SLR cameras. By adding the optional Sigma APO teleconverter, you can use this lens as a 210-700mm f/7-9 manual focus ultra-telephoto zoom lens with a 1.4X EX teleconverter, or as a 300-1000mm f/10-13 manual focus ultra-telephoto zoom lens with a 2X teleconverter.

Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG APO OS

"I am into aircraft photography: Spotting at airports and attending airshows. Until this lens, my longest glass was a Sigma 70-310 DG APO, which was great for the price but not long enough for what I needed and not sharp enough. 400-500mm is ideal, and I only had $1,000 to spend, which made this new Sigma lens my main option for a Nikon D200. After using it for a couple of months, I am very pleased with the resul..." Read Full Review »

Mediocre IQ but usable

"The lens looked like a good value on paper and had mildly positive reviews, so I took the plunge and ordered it. Initially, I was so disappointed with its performance that I was considering returning it right away. After a while I learned to live with it - I'm far from being satisfied, but the lens does have its uses and has few, if any, competitors in its price range. The positives: - light and relatively comp..." Read Full Review »

"Bought this on a gamble for my Nikon D90. Reviews online had been mixed, although most of them were by Canon users who compared it against their 100-400 Canon zoom. Unfortunately, I can't use the Canon 100-400 on a Nikon, and the 80-400mm Nikon zoom is another $600 (with reported slow auto-focus a …" Read Full Review »

"I have taken some great photos with it so far. Also some very bad photos. Tough getting sharp focus unless there is tons of light. At least with digital you can take a lot of shots at varying ranges. That's the secret. Only show off the two or three great clicks out of the five hundred. "

"I like to photograph birds and other wildlife, so when I got a new Nikon D90, I bought this telephoto lens. I can see already that if it's handled with skill it will take great photos, and if not, well ...

First, when wide open at f6.3 the pictures are soft, so it needs to be used at around f11. So …" Read Full Review »
