Sigma lens won't easily fit on EOS Rebel T5

[Gaetan]

Hello everybody,

does anyone ever tried to mount a Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM on a Rebel T5 camera ?

regardless to the lense specification, it should work with EF mount, but I didn’t succeed. I had to force a bit, but even with that it wasn’t possible. Then I stop to not damage my equipment. 

thanks a lot 🙏

"I strongly recommend using a tripod or monopod with a monopod head.  Whether shooting handheld or from a tripod, I recommend disabling OS in the lens ..."

I use my Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens on my 1DX and probably 90% of the time it is hand held. I also never turn of OS (Sigma's version of IS) tripod or not. It is a case of, if you must then by all means do but it is certainly not necessary especially for the lesser C or Tamron's G2 versions.
