Welcome back to my channel! In this video, I'm sharing my review of the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens. As a hybrid nature photographer, I was in search of a value-for-money, sturdy, and versatile lens that I could use to photograph everything from African elephants to Cisticolas. I needed a lens that would work on both DSLR's and mirrorless cameras, so I decided to put the Sigma 150-600 C to the test on an 1800 kilometre journey across the dusty roads of South Africa.

Along the way, I compared the lens to much more expensive glass to see if it could get the job done. I took thousands of shots and hundreds of clips, and now I can't wait to share them with you! If you're in the market for a new lens and want to see how the Sigma 150-600 C performs in the field, be sure to check out this video. Thanks for watching!

I've been taking photographs for 40 years, first in Hong Kong, where I grew up and later to follow my dreams of a life photographing Africa.
