Pros: Sharpness, internal zoom, tripod bracket, built-in quality, rendered with dedicated multipliers

Cons: Weight

Opinion: The zoom I've tried all of them (Nikkor 200-500 5,6VR, Sigma 150-500 and 150-600 Sport, Tamron 150-600 and for a short time even the Canon EF 100-400 mkII) or almost (I do not never tried the Nikkor 200-400 f4VR 1 and 2 because at that price and more, I just loved the 120-300 Sport), it always came out winner despite the weight. Well-balanced, with fluid rings and in easy to reach position, selectors function as sliding and precise, the tripod bracket comfortable to grab for transport, tropicalized, in short, the construction is excellent, from true PRO. The yield with the latest generation TC-1401 and TC-2001 multipliers is striking. Currently, the vote of 8.5 in my opinion is ingenious and vigorous.

Pros: Sharpness wide open fast and accurate AF.

Cons: Weight

Opinion: Having owned both the Canon 100-400 Sigma 150-500 that I have to say that this is' a whole new planet that is smooth multiplied. The files are out ready but what amazed me and 'sharpness really spectacular even with the doubler 2x sigma. The only negative thing and 'weight for those who do' stalking can 'be a problem.

Pros: Sharpness, AF very fast, great price

Cons: Weight, duplicate 2x AF begins to be uncertain

Opinion: I use it for a few months, really good and sharp at 5.6. The AF does his duty without ever being uncertain, it loses a bit 'performance with his Sigma 2x. Great stabilizer. That is all it costs € considering they are half the weight of an equivalent Nikon.rnPer frankly I'm used to, it is certainly not a feather.

Pros: Sharpness already at full aperture, AF speed, stabilizer, optimum efficiency even with duplicator.

Cons: weight and hood

Opinion: I went to this objective having previously had the great canon 100/400 and I have to say I was immediately impressed by the great sharpness already at full aperture, even with ATZ 1.4 the yield is good, since f 5.6 in on becomes optimal. Convenient to transport the large tripod socket which makes it seem lighter. The lens hood as well as being very heavy releases easily from the lens. The AF is fast, slows mounted with the duplicator but still remains more than good. rnObiettivo that I would recommend, the only flaw is the weight, which for someone like me who makes use in the mountains is felt.

Pros: Brightness, tripod socket, stabilizer, sharpness, made with Sigma 1.4x doubler

Cons: Weight, lens hood.

Opinion: I bought this lens earlier this summer and I was immediately struck by the sharpness and quality generale.rnAlla maximum aperture is already very good and further improves turning a hair, and yield even with the Sigma 1.4x multiplier is good, personally I keep it pretty much always comfortable montato.rnMolto the bracket to position the lens on the tripod, I use it as a carrying handle and shoulder strap to attach it to the backpack while riding in the mountains (and I do a little walking street .. ..) rnCome "flaws" presents the weight 3 kg in transfers that when it is in the backpack are felt, but transporting it in these ways they feel much less, and the lens hood, which sometimes comes off as soon as you touch it, and a "toy" from 3000 euro is not the final massimo.rnIn, I recommend the purchase of this goal, especially if you seek a bright, high-performance zoom.

Pros: Price, costs less than half the equivalent Canon.rn

Cons: AF speed very slow, Vignette from f/2.8 to f/5.6 and Sharpness visible at all zoom eccezionale.rnGhiera very hard and block distances AF 'interpretare'rnParaluce of hard graft and very pesante.rnAnello tripod that does not allow smooth rotation from horizontal and vertical positions, almost always hangs at the point where you remove it.

Opinion: I bought this lens convinced by the many positive reviews and the price much lower dell'accoppiata 70-200 f/2.8 and 300 f/2.8 Canon but it is truly intractable! RnScomodo and difficult to handle ... almost scivoloso.rnUn hood that can be used as a weapon from what has pesante.rnrnUn autofocus system really slow ... slow ... and luckily they called'' sport'' rnrnMagari me that I was not able to use it ... since it is the first (and last) lens is not original that I take.

Pros: good sharpness considerably already at 2.8, closing F4 to F13 remains outstanding, then tends to return to values ??still high, the good contrast, in situations of backlight does not suffer from too much light in the room while still very sott ocontrollo abberazione and vignetting

Cons: the collar of the foot down and makes it not very happy with monopod mounted using the bezel focus then I think for quick foot is changed, the weight should not be underestimated with its 3,390 are in fact 800 gr more than the old version and think in more than 490 300 F 2.8 G ED VR AFS Nikon 490 and less always the AFS 500 F4 G ED Nikon always

Opinion: I've got to be able to test one of the first in Italy for about three days thanks to M-Trading, paid for a workshop that I held May 5 at the Oasis Angitola the Regional Natural Park of the Serre, I would say that I was really pleased , as always, the Sigma can tell her without fear of comparison with the more famous brands, on my website you can find the full review and download the PDF here is the link rnrnhttp :/ / www.michelangeloserra.com/relazione120300.pdf

Pros: Sharpness, even at full aperture f2 / 8 albeit slightly soft, excellent stabilizer 4stop effective!, Fast and quiet AF

Cons: Weight, cost

Opinion: From the few tests that I could do these days I have to say that sigma is doing a great job with the new lenses, this telephoto zoom lens is truly the perfect companion for those who practice sports photography and naturalistica.A f2 / 8 over the entire focal range the images magnified to 100% are a bit 'soft but overall are very good just slightly close the diaphragm and here it materializes everything perfectly, the maximum sharpness is reached and f5 / 6 Needless to say, multiplied with the Canon 2x III and 1.4x III sharpness is still great, the ultrasonic motor is very fast and nearly silent while I would say excellent image stabilization that can bring down the shutter speed to 1/30 s at freehand! (having a hand firm enough) calculated that the weight of this little gem is about three pounds, here is the weak point the weight! to solve this problem just use a good foot in the world so as not to tire too the arm or a good tripod to finish the price which is a bit 'high and not very close at all but with a optical cos ig &rave, rare and unique worth every penny!
