I know some have the Sigma 150-600mm 5-6-3 Contemporary DH OS HSM LENS for canon R and would like to get some input on the pros and cons.  Thanks  JFG

Yep, I have viewed it and it seems to chime with my own experiences and preferences.  As the reviewer implied, one can get only so much from looking at lens charts and a significant element is the conditions under which images are shot in the real world - encompassing the camera, environment and photographer's technique, setup and skill - which will always have, IMHO, a major impact.

Definitely, with the RF100-500 you get what you pay for.  I have used it in 1.3 and 1.6 crop mode on my R5 with great results - another reason why I am not in a hurry to get an APS-C body.


cheers, TREVOR

The mark of good photographer is less what they hold in their hand, it's more what they hold in their head;
"All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;
"Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase" Percy W. Harris

I agree, you get what you pay for. The Canon RF 100-500 is a great lens which I will get next.  In the meantime while I save up my winnings, I need something with distance to play with.  I also agree with the reviewers comments and methodology.  

Cheers, Joe
