Hi all, Considering buying the "Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C" tomorrow for my Nikon D5200. I want it mostly for birds/wildlife etc. I have a couple of questions - Does anyone have it, Is it any good, Any other comments? Thanks, Alan.

I have the S version of this lens.

It is very well built and good image quality. It is a bit slower than some other big zooms but also a LOT cheaper. It is good value for money.

I am not sure how it will go on a cropped sensor at the long (slow) end in low light. You need to push the ISO up and things could become noisy. However you will probably have this lens much longer than the body.

I shot most of this album with it.
