Pros & Cons
Pros
This c version is exactly what i was looking for as far as bang for the buck. The lens is a beast.
Nikon dl3400 is an amateur photographer who takes to the outdoors to capture wildlife photos. Bought this to do bird photography using an old eos canon rebel t-3.
The stabilization on this thing blows my mind! It has fast af. The only issue i actually found is a weird busyness in the background at times.
Cons
Lens is not very sharp. Takes forever to focus and, when using auto-focus, it eventually gives up on even attempting to focus on anything. This is just a heads up to anyone who has such issues to avoid the hassle of returning it.
Highlights
Quality
4 teleconverter tested it with the lens and it works well sharpness is good autofocus works fast

There is no noticeable chromatic aberration even with very highcontrast shots
Do not underestimate the weight of this lens i did and after two sports games my wrist was hurting from holding up this thing
Price

Competitiveness
Sigma offers a very high quality lens and excellent value compared to the canon equivalent
I also bought from another dealer a used but in excellent condition nikon 200500mm zoom lens so i can compare the two
Last but not least sigma offers a four years warranty compared to 1 year for nikon
Price for a new comparable nikon 200500mm is about 4500 more expensive though one could buy a 34used34 nikon in excellent condi... Read More

I took it out last night and photographed the waxing moon and was blown away by the image quality sharpness of detail and the quality of the lens construction

With a lens of this size and weight you absolutely need to use a tripod to mount the lens when at the 400600mm range to get the sharpest results

It will reach out and still take super clear photos
