Item Description https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-150-500mm-f5-6-3-apo-dg-os-hsm.html
Bought from a forum member about 7 months ago. Used for wildlife and birds-in-flight shots. Focus can be on the slow side for fast motion but gave great results for still/slow action and did get some keepers on the fast stuff too (see samples). Could be operator error and settings, though… This version has Sigma optical stabilization modes (off, I and II). There are several threads discussing the merits of the lens vs body stabilization and use of the modes. I used mostly as hand held with the lens mode to off and in-camera stabilization to on.
A little soft at the long end and works better stopped down to f8-10 range. In the process of reducing inventory so letting it go. Is full-frame compatible image circle. Has not been sent to Sigma for K-1 mount and firmware modifications. I have only used on K-3ii.
Optically and mechanically in very good to excellent condition. Glass and blades clean. Focus and zoom rings are smooth with no slop. Zoom lock at 150mm is so-so and sometimes slips out of engagement. Lens does creep when holding front-down, as noted for many (all?) heavy zoom lenses. Lens collar is removable and has ¼”-20 holes for mounting a plate. Collar rotates around and is very handy at top of lens as a handle for removing from a case or carrying. Has Sigma caps front and rear and storage case with strap. Hood installs/removes very nicely with positive stops. Includes LensCoat cover as shown.
