Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary with extender/tele converter 1.4x/2.0x review
In this video I show samples on how the sigma 150-600 lens works with Canon extenders and converters. I show examples of the 1.4x and 2x converters. It is up to you to decide weather to use them with this lens.The sigma sport has 2 more FLD elements and is weather sealed all the way through the lens and has a bigger front element at 105mm. The sport is not twice . The price is £739 for the C £1199 for the sport. As for image quality very little difference in this in comparing both lenses even sigma say this. Using a crop sensor camera is like using a tele converter yes it crops the image but you would not want to use a teleconverter on a crop camera. As for tele converters I have seen no difference in using different brands I had a sigma apo 120-400 lens and i could not see any difference in using a sigma or canon tele converter. Yes the sport is slightly sharper at 600mm I have done many tests which seem to show this but most people would hardly be able to notice the difference at 500mm you can not tell the difference. A crop sensor camera acts like a tele converter it increases the image in the center just like a tele converter in the case of a 7D it is 1.6x more so than a 1.4x. The choice is up to people to make their mind up I am just offering some advice from my experience and by the way I have tested all three of the 150-600 zoom lenses.

Sigma 150 - 600 mm F5 - 6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary

The first hyper-telephoto zoom lens from our Contemporary line for better usability.

On the one hand, the product concept of the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is to achieve the best optical and action-capture performance to meet the requirements of professional photographers. On the other hand, that of the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary is to achieve a lightweight and compact construction for higher usability with similar specifications. It has put a special emphasis on its optical performance by incorporation of 1 FLD and 3 SLD glass elements, optimisation of lens power distribution and minimised chromatic aberration. The dust- and splash-proof construction facilitate photography in the field and the detachable tripod socket offers more convenience for handheld photography.

By incorporating excellent optical glass elements, it minimises chromatic aberration and achieves class leading image quality.

This lens incorporates 1 FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass element, which has performance equal to fluorite, and 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements which improve overall sharpness and compensate for chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration in particular, which could be visible especially towards the telephoto-end even when stopped down, is corrected by the optimised design of glass elements including the FLD lens. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.

Lightweight and compact construction for higher usability

Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, it is more compact and lightweight, enabling easy handling and making it possible to do handheld photography for a longer period of time. The tripod socket is detachable so that the lens can be carried by itself. Without the tripod socket, it also fits well into limited space for storage. Moreover, the tripod socket is made of magnesium which is light and strong at the same time. The tripod socket may be detached and replaced with a rubber protective cover PT-11 to further reduce weight and make handheld photography an even more lightweight and convenient experience. This lens is the optimal choice for photographers who desire hyper-telephoto functionality while staying light on their feet.
