So I just got a Bigma - Sigma 150-500 lens and I had to go out and test it.
But like any new lens, the subjects usually are not cooperating.
So I thought I would post some of my first shots with this lens, even if the subject was looking the other way ... not really C&C .. I'm just excited to be able to have the extension to get a bird way out there now without cropping like crazy. Also good for jets :)

I thought this was really neat the swan flapping it's wings ... enjoy :)

Nice. I'm saving for a new
Sigma
150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C

How do you like it
 
Congrats! I think your going to enjoy it.I got some razor sharp shots with mine stopped down to F/7.1 or 8 and decently sharp at 6.3, but the sweet spot is F/8 with mine.Some time it is slow to focus.I get a bird in flight that maybe close and the lens is hold on a minute while I focus and by that time the bird is giving its back side.If there is time I start tracking early from a distance then release the shutter when its close enough.

I was eyeing the tamron but kids needed a laptop so my budget was cut.
So far I love the reach with fast AF.
IQ seems pretty good from tests I've done too.
 
I might pick up the Sigma 120-400 4.5-5.6 for the K-3
 
Watch your horizons. I have a Bigma, but it's a 50-500 ...
Yeah but the shoreline kinda angles away. If I leveled the shoreline the bird is tilted forwards. I was on a bridge that went across the river and onto shoreline on the other side.
Does the 50-500 give a full image on an FX or is it strictly DX? A friend of mine has one on his d7100 but I've never been able to borrow it.
