Sigma 150-500 review with samples

[Frank Doorhof]

On my blog I posted a review on the Sigma 150-500 with some samples and crops.
It's a non commercial blog so I guess linking is no problem.

For me the 150-500 is a very good alternative to the Canon 100-400L especially for those needing some extra reach.

Don't judge the quality of the shots, I'm not a nature or zoo photographer

Have you compared this lens and/or the Canon pumper with the Bigma (Sigma 50-500)?

No,
The 50-500 has no OS so was already out of the picture.
It's almost impossible to handhold a 500mm lens without OS in my opinion on slower shutterspeeds.

Thanks for the heads up Frank. I had no idea this lens was being released. A poor man's 500mm... great!
