About this lens
The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is the lighter, more affordable sibling to Sigma's Sport version - same focal range and aperture but with reduced weight, smaller filter thread and a more travel-friendly design. A popular choice for wildlife photographers who want long reach without a 3kg lens.

Best for
The Contemporary line gives you nearly all of Sigma's super-telephoto optical capability in a notably smaller, lighter package than the Sport version - ~1kg lighter. Well-suited to hand-held wildlife, travel and sports work where weight matters more than bulletproof build.
Frequently asked questions
How does it compare to the Sigma Sport 150-600?
The Contemporary is roughly 1kg lighter than the Sport - the Sport is larger, better-built and more weather-sealed, while the Contemporary is designed for travel and hand-held use. Optical performance on both is very strong; Contemporary is the pick for hand-held and weight-sensitive work.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in HSM motor handles autofocus in-lens.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — OS with Modes 1 and 2 (Mode 2 for panning).
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
