[WaWoWieWa]

good vid to show TAMRON fans... they will vomit with seeing the speed of all sigmas.. and maybe they start to get brains even LOL

Intresting review..for wildlife this lens just does not do well. You would get better results with a 300 f4 and 1.4 tc.

Hi. I have the Sigma 150-500. I made a video. As you can see, there is a "situation" in the first shoot to the chimney. Is this a problem? It sould be happen? When I shoot to the tree, everything it's ok.

here is the video:

just try the auto focus with the lenscap on so it will just go from infinity to the minimum distance and back to infinity

[NvideaMan808]

what's the maximum distant's of like photographing a apple (you can goive another example if you want)

[175myles]

Mine hunts and never finds focus in sunlight... When It finally finds focus it doesn't want to take the shot, I think it uses so much battery on os and af that the camera has no juice to take the shot...

@175myles LOL yeah it soaks the battery with OS, but the OS is really good. Mine doesn't hunt all that much with my Canon XSI or my 40D. What type of camera are you using?

[MrDefreese]

@175myles I just tried this lens myself and found the same a/f 'hunt' problem. There is a known problem with a/f with some serial numbers and Sigma will repair it. It's on the Sigma website and a few other places.

there is a setting in your custon functions

setting 8, click 2: live mode

and it will auto focus in live pressing the * button (or zoom out button)

@vdubwill

Thank you sir I should make another video I guess, haha. I guess I could review the XSI at the same time.
