Excellent and flexible
The best thing about this lens is that you can use it for so many things, I use it mainly for wildlife photography but it's range anable's me to use it for landscapes, portraits and much more. The price for the lens is excellent, 600mm lenses can cost more than 10 000$, even if they have a higher apperture, this lenses pictures are very sharp, plus you have so muh range, and it is light compared to other telephoto len, so you can comfortably cary it for long hikes and you don't need to use a tripod.

Beyond expectations!
I purchased this lens in August and have really given it a good workout. It has performed well beyond my expectations and I am thrilled with it. I do mostly wildlife photography and this lens is very sharp throughout the whole range. It is an excellent lens and you can't beat the price.

I have a G1 Tamron 150-600 and found out this past weekend (when at a football game), that it is not compatible with the FTZ adapter (fortunately I still have the muscle memory for manual focusing). After some research, I found that the Sigma Contemporary was, for my needs, as good (and better in some instances) than the Sigma Sport and the Tamron G2. I can use it on my D750 and my Z6ii with FTZ, so I'm all set

Will this work with Nikon ftz adapter?

BEST ANSWER: Hello Mike,

The short answer on this is yes. Sigma is continuously updating their website with compatibility notes.

Please see below:

[Updated Information] Operating conditions of the Nikon “Z7” and SIGMA’s interchangeable lenses for Nikon mount

Thank you for purchasing and using our products.

We would like to share results of our further investigations regarding the operating conditions of the Nikon “Z7” and SIGMA’s interchangeable lenses for Nikon mount.

When SIGMA’s interchangeable lenses in the current product lineup, listed below, are used in combination with the Nikon “Z7” and their “Mount Adapter FTZ”, both AF and AE operate without any issues.

Furthermore, lenses which incorporate Optical Stabilizer (OS) will work to maximum effect when both the lens’s OS and the in-camera stabilization are switched on simultaneously.

Phenomena particular to 4 lenses were confirmed after our announcement of September 28th

After careful investigation, we confirmed some phenomena particular to 4 products listed below. Regarding a firmware update for the SIGMA 24-35mm F2 DG HSM | Art, 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art and 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, we are going to announce them at a later date.

24-35mm F2 DG HSM | Art

[Phenomenon]- It may occasionally stop recording while shooting video. It is planned to be resolved by a firmware update.

50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art

[Phenomenon] - When starting to shoot with the subject completely out of focus, the response to the AF operation is intermittent. It is necessary to release several times or to turn the focus ring once to release. It is planned to be resolved by a firmware update.

85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art

[Phenomenon] - It may occasionally show overexposure when narrowing down the aperture from F5.6 while shooting. It is planned to be resolved by a firmware update.

APO 800mm F5.6 EX DG HSM

[Phenomenon] - Please focus using MF, since it is difficult to achieve sufficient focusing accuracy. There is no plan for a firmware update.

When the lenses listed below are used, due to product specifications, the in-camera stabilization cannot be turned off. In addition, the Auto Power Off function cannot be used. Please manually turn the power [OFF] after shooting.

Various lenses shipped from SIGMA before November, 2013

*2 It is not possible to update the firmware of products for which our support period has finished.

Does this used lens have the tripod collar or does it have non-mounting replacement ring?
Brennan G on May 18, 2023
BEST ANSWER: This lens does include a tripod collar with a 1/4"-20mm thread so you can mount the lens into a tripod.
