From the manufacturer
A compact body and top performance in one complete package
The ultra-telephoto zoom that goes beyond the ordinary
In designing this lens, SIGMA strived to push both compactness and image quality to the limit. Four SLD glass lens elements and an optimized power distribution help minimize optical aberrations. Moreover, by taking special care to minimize transverse chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected via aperture control, SIGMA has ensured outstanding image quality throughout the zoom range.
Top performance with the specification and functionality of a more expensive unit
Since its release, the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary has won photographers over with its strong fundamental performance and exceptional image quality. The new lens retains all of this performance in a compact 400mm ultra-telephoto zoom package with a filter size of just ⌀67mm and weight of just 1,160g. Yet it also comes with the full range of features and functions expected of an ultra-telephoto zoom: optical stabilizer (OS), hypersonic motor (HSM) with updated algorithm for fast autofocus, focus limiter, and more. In addition, this uncompromising specification becomes customizable with the available SIGMA USB Dock accessory.

Compact packaging with uncompromising image qualityIn designing this lens, SIGMA strived to push both compactness and image quality to the limit. Four SLD glass lens elements and an optimized power distribution help minimize optical aberrations. Moreover, by taking special care to minimize transverse chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected via aperture control, SIGMA has ensured outstanding image quality throughout the zoom range. |
All-new optical stabilizer (OS) unit with exclusive algorithmFeaturing a newly developed gyroscopic sensor and a new and exclusive algorithm, the all-new OS unit provides a powerful stabilization effect. An acceleration sensor detects camera shake in any direction—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. This technology allows the OS to stabilize the image very effectively, regardless of whether the camera is being held in horizontal or vertical orientation. Smoother AF operation The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF. The updated algorithm enables smoother AF operation. |
Dust-proof and splash-proof mount.The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens. The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing* to protect the mount from dust and water drops. * Except for the SIGMA mount |
Smooth bokeh and minimised flare.The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image. From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance. |

Push/pull zoom mechanism incorporatedFor quick control of the angle of view, the zoom ring incorporates a push/pull mechanism in addition to the regular twist mechanism. The exclusive lens hood has also been designed to accommodate push/pull zooming and overall lens maneuverability. By making it possible to adjust the angle of view instantly, this lens gives photographers an even better chance of getting that crucial shot. |
Supplied AccessoriesLENS HOOD LH770-04* FRONT CAP LCF Ⅲ 67mm REAR CAP LCR Ⅱ *The lens hood cuts harmful rays that can negatively affect photographs while also minimizing reflectivity within the hood itself. The hood also features a rubber construction and a non-slip groove to make it easy to hold in a variety of shooting situations. |
SIGMA USB DOCK for SIGMA GLOBAL VISION lenses (optional)By connecting a SIGMA Art, Contemporary, or Sports lens to a computer with the SIGMA USB DOCK, photographers can update the lens firmware and adjust focus position and other parameters. Exclusive SIGMA Optimization Pro software makes customization easy. It is possible to select the autofocus speed and adjust the focus limiter and Optical Stabilizer (OS) function. |
Made in JapanAll Sigma products, lenses, cameras and flash units are manufactured exclusively by Sigma in Sigma’s own factory in Aizu, Japan. No Sigma Corporation product – lens, camera or flash – is manufactured outside of Japan. This is very unusual these days, as most companies have at least some of their products produced outside of Japan because of cost considerations. There's a reason why SIGMA continues to insist on the very highest quality in its product manufacturing: our love of photography is second to none. We deeply appreciate the photographer's desire to record and express—the passion of the photographer. |

I really love this lens. It's only about a third the price of the Canon 100-400 MkII, while only being 1/3 stop of light slower. But is much sharper, and lighter than the canon. I often use this with the Canon 2x Mkiii teleconverter without any issues whatsoever. I like the programmability of it through the Sigma dock to make it more in line with your shooting style.
On the downside, only 2 things...in less than optimal light it can be rather slow to focus...I just switch it to manual and using focus peaking, get my focus that way. The other is the lack of an official tripod collar. I got one from ishoot what works great. https://smile.amazon.com/iShoot-Support-100-400mm-Contemporary-ARCA-Swiss/dp/B085M8QVGL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=ishoot+sigma+100-400+collar&qid=1613159952&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A1J7OB0CIMVRFW&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTTZIUkQyN045UDE4JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjAxNDg5WUhBSUdYSE5VSVk2JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMjM2NjYxQVE0M0NOMktXSVNWJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
I simply lined the inside of the collar with gaffer's tape to prevent any scratches.
Overall...this is a must own lens if you need anything longer than 200mm. For the price and quality, you'd be hard pressed to find anything better.
Go on now...get it! :)

Reviewed in Mexico on December 20, 2023
Sigma ha fatto proprio un bel lavoro costruendo un obbiettivo non troppo pesante e con un ottima resa in termini di qualità d'immagine, forse un poco scuro come obbiettivo ma anche un fattore soggettivo.
rapporto qualità prezzo super conveniente e molto consigliato per chi ricerca un tipo di fotografia Wildlife, io lo utilizzo su una Canon Eos M50 che essendo molto leggera rispetto all'obbiettivo, sbilancia parecchio il baricentro, purtroppo non è incluso l'anello per il treppiede ma è quasi fondamentale se lo si vuole utilizzare con il treppiede.
The lens is priced high in india due to import duties which are levied on it, 150-600 and 100-400 are being sold at almost same price if birding and reach is of ultimate concern go for 150-600 without a second thought.
My reason for choosing this lens are around having a means to capture street and having a mid range zoom which this lens will support.
The description mentions carry case and strap, but lens merely comes with hood, the seller needs to update the listing.
A good second option for against canon 100-400 as mentioned in multiple reviews with sharpness worthy of the price.
