Pros: Excellent sharpness even at f/22, Almost no chromatic aberration, Zero distortion, Two hoods in the box, Portable bag, Great stabilizer, One of the best macro lenses in the world

Cons: Heavy weight, F/5.6 maximum aperture at 1:1 ratio

Opinion: There are very few macro lenses in the 150mm focal length range, and this Sigma lens is one of them. The lens has very high optical quality. Sharpness is amazing at all apertures, even at f/22. The best output of the lens is between f/5.6 and f/11. The most important thing is that this lens has very low aberrations even in the corners (close to zero), which makes it an excellent option for astro photography. The only two major drawbacks of the lens are: It's heavy weight, which makes it a bit difficult to carry, and the lens has maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 1:1 magnification ratio.

Pros: Sharp like a lazer

Cons: A little heavy, but not too heavy

Opinion: Super scrap glass, built as a tank. Quick focus and fun fun, especially in Macro with DG-140 Ring Flash, you can go to F / 2.8 1/250 Flash Sync, FULL SUN and stop all outside lights. Portrat distance up to 4-5 meters, with flash, you're sure of a super sharp result. It is a nice lens, which always accompanies the weight approx. 1 kg, but it's worth it and if you have it, you'll use it for anything other than Macro and Portraits, because it can handle most. At DX, it's Sigma 225mm f / 2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro. Used on Nikon D3100 and D5600

Pros: Great sharpness, nice focus ring, good autofocus speed, apochromatic, good ergonomy of feature buttons (AF/distance limiter/OS), good balance with lighter bodies (60D), robust. Still good with a Sigma 1.4x TC.

Cons: Bokeh could be a little better for the price, optical stabilizer problematic (see opinion), tripod ring button fragile.

Opinion: I like the weight balance in a 60D. Excelent to work with. Gets a a little heavy with a 7D. My main complaint: after 1 year of usage, the optical stabilizer sometimes tilts in temperatures of 23-25 °C (early mornings in NE Brazil). After it gets hotter, the problem stops. The bokeh is not great, specially in the front of the subject. Also, my tripod ring button broke without a clear cause...

Pros: Sharpness, AF, multiplied usage, canon mirrorless compatible

Cons: heavy

Opinion: Taken a few months ago for the need for a bright telephoto and used on Canon Eos R8. I was inclined towards a 70-200 but also needing a macro I opted for this 150 that I had been dreaming of for a long time. The weight is important, and even if well balanced, in the end it tires the hands and makes complicated photos from positions a little out of balance (e.g. low to the ground or cmq distant from the body). The sharpness of course is at the highest levels, already from 2.8, as well as the contrast. I was favorably impressed by the goodness of the AF which proved to be perfectly compatible with canon mirrorless and very fast. Actually in this period I am using it mainly for sports photos (youth football) with excellent results. The lens can easily track the subject at up to 20fps. This is despite my lack of experience both in the discipline and in the use of luminous canvases. My judgment takes into account the other lenses used in this context: the EF 100 f2.0 USM and the Tamron 70-300 VS. The Sigma 150 proved to be slightly superior to the 100 f2 (the canon gets a little worse in tracking distant subjects) and much better than the tamron (which struggles to follow the subject even at 5 fps)

Pros: Sharpness, IS, Good AF*, Solid Construction, Filter Diameter, Rings & Selectors, Focal Length

Cons: AF* good but not for sports/birds, bulky lens hood

Opinion: Taken to have both a decent macro and a portrait telephoto all in one optic, wonderful purchase! The sharpness is very good already at TA (not a blade but it surprised me), the used price is quite good, the construction is solid (it has its weight but not excessive), dials and selectors are not plasticized, AF very good for subjects not too fast but not recommended for SPORT/AVIFAUNA, slightly bulky lens hood, excellent for both macro and portraits. It's multipliable!
