Some sample shots of the Sigma 150-600 mm lens used with the 7D-Mk2 From Canon. All were shot using a Manfrotto Gimbal on a tripod:

With a MFD of 2.6 Meters, I got an acceptable "MACRO" of a Dragonfly as well:

The lens is on the heavy side, but very workable hand-held if you are used to long lenses, I guess. AF is surprisingly fast with the 7dMk2 attached. The finish is very attractive and the over-all performance seems pretty good. The dual mode OS is effective, and more importantly, you can program the lens to suit your particular shooting style with its proprietary Sigma USB Dock.
All in all, a great value for money lens that can give the OEM glass from Canon and Nikon a run for the money!
Thank you and God bless :-)
