Some of the reviewers I found said they felt the Sport had an very slight edge in sharpness, and others felt, as I did, that the Contemporary was just barely sharper.Įach copy of a lens performs differently, so to see some slight variation is normal.Īre these lenses sharp enough for professional photography? I was so surprised by my results that even after testing and retesting, I read reviews from a few other reviewers who I respect and it looks like I'm not the only one who has found that these lenses have almost identical sharpness. What I learned from this test is that the price of the lens is NOT a good indicator of the performance of the lens–at least in this case. When I bought these lenses for this review, I was certain that the Sport version would be sharper than the Contemporary given the better build quality, additional FLD element in the lens, and the significantly higher price. If I had to pick a winner in the sharpness battle, it'd be the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary, which had better contrast at several focal lengths and better resolution at one focal length. So when it comes right down to it, after hours of testing and reviewing many many many photos, the sharpness is almost identical between the two lenses. The reason I'm showing the tests at f/6.3 is that it's the most common focal length you'd shoot this lens at.īut if you stop down to f/7.1 or higher and do the testing, the difference between these lenses is even tighter. This lens is officially supported by Sigma’s own TC-1401 1.4x and TC-2001 2x Teleconverter for Canon.All of these tests are shot at f/6.3.

This “Contemporary” version doesn’t get the full weather sealing that the “Sports” version does, but it does have a weather-seal on the mount to help protect the camera body. The lens barrel is constructed of Sigma’s durable Thermally Stable Composite ( TSC) material, which ensures minimal shrinkage in extreme conditions. Meanwhile, two Special Low-Dispersion elements maximize image clarity and contrast. One “F” Low-Dispersion element, which performs equivalently to fluorite, guarantees sharp images. As a part of Sigma’s Contemporary line, this lens goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing, ensuring high image quality. For improved panning performance, Sigma has added an accelerometer to help detect horizontal and vertical movement when shooting in Mode 2. Helps to eliminate camera shake when shooting.

The Autofocus/Manual Focus switch also has a Manual Override position that enables full-time manual focus override for quick fine tuning. Provides fast, silent operation in a wide variety of shooting situations. The variable f/5-6.3 aperture may be a tad limiting for low-light shooting, so you’ll get the best performance while shooting in daylight. While it’s not quite as ideal for sports photography as the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports for Canon, this “Contemporary” version is perfectly suited for wildlife and outdoor shooting. This long-range zoom provides a large focal range to capture subjects at a great distance.
