Both share the same 150-600mm f5-6.3 specification, but have different levels of quality, construction and sealing. Interestingly, Sigma is replacing the 150-500mm with not one, but two new lenses. It also now allows Sigma to compete on range with the existing Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3.

Announced in September 2014, it replaces the earlier 150-500mm f5-6.3, extending its reach while also offering higher performance and tougher build. The Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sport is a super-telephoto zoom lens, available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts, and corrected for full-frame use. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the Sigma 150-600mm Sport at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, or Wex. Compare closely with Tamron's 150-600mm and Sigma's own cheaper Contemporary version. There may be vignetting and evidence of coloured fringing, but both are easily corrected in RAW conversions, and importantly the lens delivers where it should with fine, well-resolved details right into the corners of full-frame images. And the optical quality in my tests proved to be very respectable across the entire range. The AF, when coupled with a decent DSLR, is fast, confident and very usable for sports.

The build quality is excellent: it's heavy, but reassuringly built with full weather sealing. Summary Sigma's 150-600mm Sport is a highly desirable lens for sport and wildlife photographers who demand a super-telephoto reach without the stratospheric cost of big primes, or even the highest-end zooms from Canon and Nikon.
