It's the 150-600 if anyone wants to know.

The Tamron might be better value at the moment. £749 on Amazon with £75 cash back as well.

Both good lenses. Tamron slightly heavier, only one focus length lock (Sigma has 2), and Optical Stabilisation is better on the Sigma too. Focus ring on the Tamron slightly bigger - easier if you are a little ham-fisted.

The tamron and siggy are pretty well matched. Its just personal preference.
Just as a word of warning... do all autofocus calibration without the uv filter on. If the lense then starts front on back focussing all the time once its back on bin the uv filter. Ive had this exact issue previously with an expensive uv filter

It's "lens", not "lense" :stuck_out_tongue:
Throw any UV filter you have into the sky and use the lens hood for protection instead.

I've always wanted a "SIGMA 150-600 f5-6.3 DG OS HSM", will look great next to the geraniums

The OP needs changing as the deal is for the lens not the filter!!!
