It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

I took three lenses to choose the best one for the Canon EOS R: Sigma 150 mm f2.8 EX DG HSM APO, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO, Canon EF 100mm f2.8 USM L IS. The optical qualities of the Sigma lenses practically did not differ, however, the version with a stabilizer gave significantly more sharp shots when shooting handheld at shutter speeds of 1/60-1/100. For this reason, I compared Canon 100 L and Sigma 150 EX OS. Photos from Canon looked brighter (in T-stops) and nicer in tone…

Pros
  • Sharpness across the frame, easy framing at 150mm compared to 100mm, good stabilization.
Cons
  • Slow and noisy autofocus, large size and weight.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

>First impressions of this lens on the 7D and 5D3 cameras were good. Surprisingly, neither back nor front focus was observed. However, in the future, with painstaking work, it was noticed that adjustment is required. On the first of these cameras, an input of minus 2 divisions was required, on the second - by plus 2. It is also worth noting that in some cases there is a certain offset - misses, but not more than the depth of field, which is visible only at high magnifications. > A significant…

Pros
  • From the point of view of optical qualities, this lens does not really outperform my former "macrushniks" Sigma AF 105/2.8 EX DG Macro and Canon EF 100/2.8 USM Macro. I'm interested here tripod foot, which is very convenient for a monopod, slightly longer distance MDF (38 cm vs. 31), image stabilizer. An amazingly useful composite lens hood for crop lens operation.
Cons
  • Incorrect autofocus on Canon EOS 7D. A somewhat thoughtful inclusion of Image Stabilizer on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Although they say (and I am one of them) that the mass of equipment reduces vibrations, however, here the massiveness is excessive. Focus speed is slow. The presence of a three-position distance switch is effective, but yaw is still observed.
