Weighty, but worth it Lens mount s Canon EF, Nikon F

Despite having an identical zoom range and aperture rating as Sigma’s 150600mm Contemporary lens, the Sports edition is rather larger and heavier. At nearly 3kg, it’s certainly not a lens to be taken lightly, especially when it comes to long periods of handheld photography.

The control layout features switchable options, including dualmode auto/manual override priority for autofocus and dual-mode static/ panning optical stabilisation. There are also two switchable custom setups. You can engage the zoom lock switch at any focal length on the zoom ring.

Performance

Making the most of its top-grade dual FLD (‘Fluorite’ Low Dispersion) elements, this lens delivers excellent sharpness for a super-telephoto zoom. There’s no beating this Sigma for all-round performance.
