Sigma announces all-new 150-600mm supertelephoto lenses!!
LATEST! Oct 29th, 2014. Comparison of Sigma and Tamron.
http://www.lenstip.com/index.php?test=obiektywu&test_ob=417
(Sept 12, 2014) : Sigma announces a pair of 150-600mm lenses three days to the opening of Photokina in Germany.
Sept 5. SIGMA UNVEILS 150-600 LENS IN DIRECT COMPETITION TO TAMRON!
Larger and heavier than the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3. Weather sealing. Optimised AF and OS (image stabilisation). More glass elements. The Tamron 150-600/F5-6.3, arguably one of the hottest lens ever made, became an unprecedented success story for a budget supertelephoto with demand exceeding supply. Will the heftier Sigma dethrone the Tamron? I am sure we are all anxious to know. We shall see.
NOTE: I have made arrangements to test this lens when it becomes available. So watch this space.
Currently available for Canon/Nikon/Sigma mounts only. Sony A-mount version expected to be released in six months.
