The monopod is terrible quality and not worth the bundle. Save your money and buy just the lens. I am disappointed by the bundle and quality of the monopod. Lens is great.

The lens is nice. The monopole is junk. Surprised it was matched with the lens. More like a toy. No match for this beasty lens

Quality product. Purchased for wildlife photography, birds and children's sports. Very happy, all arrived promptly and in order. Speed of focus was my one concern but it has more than meet expectation. Be careful with the tripod (monopod?), with this lens on a camera is is heavy and the securing mechanism isnt the strongest. I have had someone walk into me lightly and dislodge the camera from the tripod so ensure that you use the strap too.

The price for this bundle was better than other sellers for just the camera and manufactures accessories. The UV lens filter works fine with the Sigma lens. I'm not that comfortable that the mono-pod is sturdy enough to handle the weight of the lens, but I can put it to other uses. I'm using the Sigma lens on a Canon t2 Rebel and am pleased with the initial results. I photograph mainly birds and animals and the picture quality at long reach is quite satisfactory and the auto focus pretty quick and accurate. The lens and all accesories were received quickly and well packaged. I'm quite satisfied.

The lens is really heavy, but I expected that. It came with all of the OEM-provided pieces and a couple of extras. The Ultimaxx Studio Series MC Digital HD UV 95mm filter, which is marked "Japan Optics" is crap, though. Despite the fancy name and the claim that it's multi-coated, the UV filter is made in China and appears not even to be coated, much less multi-coated. It will be going into the trash and I'll buy a real UV filter for times when I want something in front of the lens's optics. The monopod is about what I expected, perhaps one step above crap. Still the price for the lens and the extra crap was acceptable.

I love sigma lenses, own several others but this particular lens was defective, the autofocus didn't work at all, the lens won't hunt for focus at different distances. I really think that I was set up by the reseller see photo video as they charge a 15%restocking fee. Now I'm waiting for a refund so I can purchase it again through BH photo video, their service and products are 100% reliable.the other items are all plastic and low quality, the monopod "quick release plate"wanna be, won't hold the weight of the lens. don't lose the time or 15% of your money + the hustle and extra $$ of mailing the box back, just don't buy these bundles.I would have given it 0 star rating if it were possible, and again I believe sigma makes great glass, these people from see or other similar just make their money of the restocking fee

The Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens is very power to shoot objects far distance away. It is light and can used hand-held. The price is excellent comparing to other big names. I used it with both my full-frame and APS-C sensors Canon cameras with excellent results. It is also works with Sigma and Canon 2x Extender with great pictures in Manual Exposure. I highly recommend it.

I love this lens! Great for taking pictures of birds and other not so cooperative wildlife. This was a great buy, with the extras (72 inch Monopod with Quick Release + UV Filter + Lens Pen + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth) included for the same price as the lens only from other dealers. Ordering was easy and delivery time quick. The only issue I've had is that the quick release monopod was a bit weak to support this large lens. The weight of the lens is too much for the quick release connection compromising the stability of the monopod. Regardless of this, the lens is great and the value of the package outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone who love taking nature shots.
