Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - stoppingdown - 03-21-2016 ... now I only have to wait for the Sigma adapter to be available. In the meantime, in a few days, a friend of mine will make me try the lens with his Canon body. For a few euros I've also ordered a manual Canon EOS EF/Sony E-mount adapter... perhaps in one week I'll be able to make the first tests at full aperture. As soon as I can do something I'll share my impressions. Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - stoppingdown - 03-21-2016 BTW... it feels heavier than I thought. Thank God I didn't buy the Sport version... Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - JJ_SO - 03-21-2016 yesterday I updated the firmware of the Sports version.

Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - stoppingdown - 03-30-2016 First tests, a couple of days ago, with the Canon 6D borrowed from a friend of mine. Basically useless, because:
I can share three points so far about the lens:

The tripod collar at the contemporary is removable, while the standard one at the Sports might be an improvement... ... but really cool is the additional and pretty expensive TS-81 Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - stoppingdown - 04-01-2016 250€?!?!? :unsure: :wacko: :blink: Got the Sigma 150-600 C, Canon mount, for Sony... - JJ_SO - 04-04-2016 For a simple piece of cast metal and some thread inserts, yes, that's what I thought, too.
