    Overview

    The Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary offers good optical performance for its price, with sharpness that is "very good" in the center and acceptable at the edges. Weaknesses include some chromatic aberration and a tendency to be "a tad too warm" in color rendering. Build quality is solid with weather sealing, but the torque switch can be temperamental. Handling is good for a lens of this size, though it is heavy at 4.25 lbs. It suits budget-conscious wildlife and sports photographers who need reach without the cost of a prime.
