[QUOTE="Rob Bye, post: 381983, member: 23425"] My Sigma, one of the first to reach Canada, arrived this morning. As expected, it's quite a beast! After giving it a thorough inspection, testing it on a couple of cameras, I set it down long enough to snap some comparison photos: [ATTACH=CONFIG]124927._xfImport[/ATTACH] ⇪ [I]From top to bottom, we see the Sigma 150-600, its counterpart from Tamron, then my "big" Nikon 70-200 f/2.8.[/I] [ATTACH=CONFIG]124928._xfImport[/ATTACH] ⇪ [I]Just the two 150-600s.
