Had both, 150-500 works better for me opticaly (not to mention OS). Sharp right from wide open f-stops. Bigma has to be stopped down 2/3 to 1 f-stop in order to get top notch performance. It has something to do with shortened zoom range. Handling wise, no big difference; both are heavy but on the upper edge of comfort when handholding for extended periods.

Nice comparasion shot for Sigma lens. Which one is your final choice ?
I'm so compulsive to get one, especially after Sigma announce Bigma ith OS, but still undecided.
Which one is better in term of handling beetwen 2 lens above.

Shots were taken from a tripod with OS turned off. Shortly after the test I've bought a sample of Nikon mount version for my own use and have extensively used it ever since. Generally, shots using OS are slightly less sharp compared to those taken from top notch tripod.

Were these comparison shots taken hand held or with a tripod? Also was the OS turned on the 150-500mm?

Thanks for the review. Agree with your assessment of the two lenses.
