High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focusing capability.

First Impression - Sigma 150-500 
by .. Pratti Rajgopal (INDIA)
At last I got my long cherished Sigma lens as a birthday gift from my Son. I was so excited that I wanted to try out the performence at once. I rushed to the near by park with a pond where 10 to 12 species of birds are normally found. By the time I reached the light was fading off. I shot a couple of photos. To my utter surprise they were brilliant. Since it has an OS I went down to 100 th sec. The ISO was at 400. I have a Nikon D 50 which can not be called by any standards a high end modle nor with the latest technology. The AF is absolutely silent and fast. So is the OS. The only thing I could not figure out is the option 1 and option 2 of the OS. The literature supplied says that 1 is for normal conditions and 2 is when the subject is having a vertical movement. Trying out may be the best teacher. I personally feel that if " value for money " is a criteria you can not ask for anything better

For the money it's very good.

So I wish I had more money for lenses, I think most of us do. This is a good lens for the money but it's no f/2.8. I have lugged it around and honestly it's great but it is heavy.
