Members Martin Vronsky Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 Quote 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! About me My name is Will Goodlet. I am a wildlife, landscape and astro photographer working in the African Safari business. I spend my time exploring the dusty roads of Africa with my Land Rover, Basil. 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. 00:00 - Intro 00:47 - About this Channel 01:09 - Tudortech Shoutout 01:25 - Review Contents 01:40 - Weights & Competitors 03:28 - Build Quality 05:18 - Filter Size 05:49 - Lens Mounts 06:37 - Zoom Range 07:28 - Role of 150-600 08:07 - Using it on APSC 08:44 - Extenders 10:47 - Aperture 11:24 - Minimum Focus Distance 12:00 - Sigma Dock 12:30 - Barrel Switches 13:29 - Stabilisation on Tripod 14:05 - Using in the Field 14:42 - Best Thing About the Lens 15:40 - Image Quality 16:52 - Lens Chart Comparisons 17:14 - Camera Chart Comparisons 18:12 - Chart Analysis 18:43 - Autofocus Pulsing 19:21 - Canon Freezing 20:03 - Does the Sigma Lock -up? 20:30 - Autofocus Performance 22:12 - Autofocus Consistency 22:30 - Keeper Rates 23:15 - Auotfocus Frustrations 23:34 - Birds in Flight 24:53 - AF Conclusion 25:06 - Video Autofocus 26:53 - Parfocal?
