p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Just un-boxed the new Sigma 150-600 OS Sport for Nikon. My first empressions | |
The Sigma 150-600 OS Sport for Nikon has just arrived in my store today so time to see if this lens can out perform my Tamron SP 150-600.
Just from the un-boxing the first thing I noticed was that the build quality is nothing short of top notch and the tripod collar rotates with machine type tolerances with no slop even when collar lock is left in the loose position.
This is indeed a larger and heaver lens then the Tamron so it's not a lens you want to shoot handheld for any long period of time. The other nice touch is the lens foot is held in place with 4 cap screws just like the larger factory primes, so you know what that means Arca swiss replacement foots should be available from RRS and other brands like Wimberly, Kirk and Jobu soon enough. However the stock lens foot is rock solid to begin with but my only gripe here is that the collar is not removable if you want to shed of some of the weight for handheld shooting.
I'm doing some IQ testing tomorrow with my D4 and D800e side by side with my Tamron to see if it performs as good as it looks.
