Is the Sigma 150-500 OS a good Tele Zoom?
The Sigma 150-500 OS is a good long tele-zoom – indeed it’s the least costly way to get a zoom reaching 500mm at f6.3 with image stabilization. The performance on the short side up to 300mm is very good even wide open but you need to stop down to f8 or even f11 for sharp results at longer focal lengths.
Why does the Sigma 150-500mm OS have focus lag?
Readers may recall from my review of the Tamron 150-600mm VC that focus lag was an issue with older Nikon bodies, especially when using single-point focus. The difference between the two lenses is likely due to better firmware compatibility of the Sigma 150-500mm OS with older bodies.
