This was shot with the new Sigma 150-600 at 600mm from about 12 feet away, nearly full frame, ISO 500 6.3, 1/125 (late afternoon sun, partly overcast).

Excellent! Very cool to get that close.

Great shot. Glad to hear that someone in North America has the new Sigma 150-600 and glad to see how sharp it is at 600mm. I am still waiting for mine - been on order now for about 6 weeks. I am hoping it will arrive before my holiday to Florida in January.

Very nice profile shot. I think that lens will serve you well.

Great photo, love the detail in those feathers.

Gotta tell you it is a heavy lens and at the end of the day, you're sore and tired.

That looks sharp! Is this the contemporary sigma or the sport?

very nice.

which of the two new 150-600 sigmas is that ?

bulldurham · Dec 21, 2014

It's the sport lens. I've decided I don't like it after all. It's terribly heavy and in tight confines it's hard to get a good focus lock on a fast moving bird. It's great for static or semi-static shots. I'm going to keep my 80-400 and shoot with the 1.4 Tele-Extender at 560mm and be happy.
