I almost posted the same thing. Glad I didn't.
Hi,
I had my first contact, last weekend, with the Contemporary.
Marvelous lens.
I also tried the Sports version, but that's much to heavy.
I took several pics, mostly at 600 mm.

I took this pic from at least 400 mtr distance, at 600 mm, with a shutterspeed of 1/80 sec!!
Great working OS system. (I was a bit proud of myself
)

And I liked this one.
The swan nearly was going to attack me, I was quite close (you can't see his/her kids...)
But I had one strange thing.
Playing with the AF speed from the lens, racing from the beginning towards the end and back.
At 150 mm it was stunning fast, both ways.
But at 600 mm...
From the beginning (2.8 mtr) towards Infinity it was slower (a bit to slow) than from Infinity towards the beginning (2.8 mtr).
From that end towards the beginning is was pritty fast, fast enough.
Muzza, do you have the same experience? Or others?
Please write it here.
I think, this lens will be mine in a short period...

Well, I ordered mine today. Should arrive tomorrow.
Local weather forecast looks fine for the weekend. I anticipate a lot of bird shooting.

I was actually thinking about it. Tamron 15-600 and the Sigma C are very similar in every aspect, so I'm not sure if it makes much sense to establish a new thread. Is it possible to change thread's title (perhaps admins can do it)? I think we just need one "Post your Sigma and Tamron 15-600 shots".
I think a new thread is in order. There is certainly a large amount of interest in this lens. I'll be interested in your opinions.
I agree then members will find it easier to check each lens.
Hi,
That's new for me, I didn't hear from that before...
And how is your AF doing?
Does it behave the same as the lens I tried?

Does the hood mark the lens when put on the lens in reverse, for transport?

Hi,
Somebody "famous" once said: We've got him...! :victorious:
Yip
Bought him this afternoon.
He's hard to buy overhere, some shops have waitinglists.
Some will have to wait for a month or so. :fatigue:
Now I can go playing with it and with its USB dock.
Play time...:biggrin-new:
