SIGMA 150 600MM CONTEMPORARY LENS AMAZON PROFESSIONAL

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.
