It is a beast of a lens, larger in every facet and with extensive use of metal in its construction. It was only a couple of months ago that I began reviewing the bigger, more expensive sibling of this lens – the Sport version ( read that review here). This is true of the lens I am currently reviewing, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary. I have now reviewed lenses from all three categories of Sigma’s Global Strategy (Art, Sport, and Contemporary), and despite still not having a clue what “Contemporary” is supposed to mean in this context, I can attest that the cosmetic design and general construction of all of these lenses is excellent. Sigma lenses still have their quirks (more on that in a moment), but they are building the handsomest lenses on the market.

Few lenses get people around here as excited as the announcement of a new Sigma ART series lens. Whoever came up with their new “Global Vision” marketing strategy deserves a raise, and the team that came up with their new design ethos deserves an even bigger one. Clearly a decision was made to target a more premium place in the market, and so they scrapped their existing design philosophy entirely along with their marketing strategy. A few years ago they awoke from their third party slumber and realized that they were capable of making better products than what they were currently building.
