    Sigma 150-600mm contemporary

    Here is a picture taken yesterday afternoon using the same setup as above. The image was cropped around 45% of the original width, reduced the size down to 1800x1200, further cropped the image down to 1200x800. Now, I'm not sure why this setup works with my camera set to 6mp, will do more...

    @ Glen.. super shot! :) Everyone, I think I figured out how to use the Sigma TC-1401 (1.4x tc) with my Contemporary. Remember on my previous post, I found out the Contemporary works best when I set my D3300 from using image size "L" (large 24mp) down to size "M" (medium 13.5mp). Now I found out...

    @ Dougie & Rixy.. Thanks you both! :) ..I've been experimenting micro adjusting the focus of the Contemporary on my D3300 camera. When I set the D3300 as 24mp (large image setting), the images are soft and blurry, like in portrait "glamour" shots. I find that if I set the camera to medium image...

    Roy, ALL the pictures I've seen you take and post are SUPER shots! :) ..don't let anyone tell you otherwise! ..excellent results with your 1.4x tc, but this one must be from Canon, and not from Sigma ;) Cheers, John

    Simon, The D700 is an excellent performer, that's why I treat it like an heirloom. From every review I've read, there's no reason why the Contemporary won't work fine with the D700 full frame. The only thing is, there may be some softness in the corners , but with some cropping, no one will...

    Sigma 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM SPORTS owners thread

    I'm now in the process of recalibrating my Contemporary lens. I first experienced this type of thing with my Samyang 8mm fisheye lens, while using yet another one of my cameras, a Nikon D3200 (24mp) which produced good but blurry hazy images. I then connected the Samyang to my Nikon D3100...

    Welcome back, Jeff! :) ..all super shots! ..I'm glad the 1D3 is working superbly.. just a thought for your 7D2, please try if had not tried this, to lower the image size settings from 20mp down to either: 4104 x 2736 or 3648 x 2432.. the reason I say this is because on my Nikon D3300 camera, I...

    LOL's! I have both the D3200 and D3300 cameras, the D3300 seems to handle "noise" a bit better than the D3200, but the D3200 is good too. :) ..Thank you very much for your compliment! :)

    Here are two pictures taken yesterday with Nikon D3300 and Contemporary, using the same micro adjustments as previous. I'm still baffled about the different OS anf AF features, trying to figure out which one(s) works best. 1. House Sparrow (1800x1200)...
