Won't one be enough?
1350-5400mm surely that’s a bit excessive can you not get closerLOL,....even though I am strong I will struggle holding up 9 150-600 lenses !

Yeah they're really quite tame, but this was the first time they've fed from the hand. Although normally there's kids running riot and this time it was early morning so that's probably the difference.Seems you have some tame birds at that reserve Steve, nice captures.
Are any of you using this lens with an 80D?
I'm currently considering the Tamron 150-600 G2 but used prices for the sigma seem quite good but I'm not sure if one would require a firmware update, depending on the age of the lens.
Sounds like it needs to go to sigma for a check over , they are pretty good with there pricing if it’s out of warranty ..Anyone able to help with the above? ^^
There is currently a massive firmware update out (March 2019) for all the lenses , it has definetly improved the definition on the lens and speeded it up a bitYou canon users have had a load of updates. The Nikon one hasn’t had one yet.
I noticed that too but after reading the release notes it seems that the update only improves the viewfinder stability. Mine seems to be fine so have not updated it.There is currently a massive firmware update out (March 2019) for all the lenses , it has definetly improved the definition on the lens and speeded it up a bit
hi Paul nothing that I can put my finger on and say yes its done this that or the other definitely , its just a gut feeling that others on other forums have noticed to .. I really think speeded up is possibly the wrong term , more that it has improved the burst rate I think I'm discarding far far less since doing it and there is a marked improvement in definition they dont do these updates for a laugh .I noticed that too but after reading the release notes it seems that the update only improves the viewfinder stability. Mine seems to be fine so have not updated it.
Jeff, when you say it has speeded the lens up could you elaborate a bit, I hate updating things that do not have problems but I would never say no to a bit of extra speed.

As Iain says that sounds like a definite problem , a trip to sigma is the best answer , worth giving them a bell first though as it might be something your doing wrong or a camera mismatch ,( unlikely )How old is your lens? If it’s in warranty send it in as I’ve never heard of anyone I know talking of the issue you are having.

I find that first one really very satisfying to look at! I’m a proud new owner of a 150-600 C, will hopefully try it out this weekend or next!
Looks like your focus point has been on the wing/side rather than the eye. But where the focus point has been is sharp.
Birds never sit still even when they are stillHi, I am quite happy with the Sigma's performance. I have several MF tele-lenses from Minolta, Nikon Leitz/Leica, which are all good optically,
but the birds do not sit still long, so AF is better.
