It is time for a spring lens tune-up. As the days grow longer and the weather warms, photographers everywhere are itching to get back out into the field, camera in hand, ready to capture the beauty of the world around them. But before you set off on your next photographic adventure, it’s crucial to ensure that your equipment is in top-notch condition.
For many photographers, myself included, one of the most beloved tools in our kit is the Sigma 150-600 lens. This versatile piece of glass opens up a world of possibilities, allowing us to capture everything from distant wildlife to stunning landscapes with ease. However, like any piece of gear, it requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
That’s why, as spring rolls around and the prime photography season beckons, I always make it a point to give my Sigma 150-600 lens a thorough once-over. While I’m diligent about checking its settings and functions throughout the year, there’s something special about taking the time to give it some extra attention before diving into a busy season of shooting.

In a recent video, I shared some essential tips for checking not only your Sigma 150-600 lens but all the lenses in your arsenal. From ensuring that the autofocus is working smoothly to inspecting for any signs of wear or damage, taking the time now to perform these checks can save you from disappointment later on.
Whether you’re a nature photographer, a wildlife enthusiast, or someone who specializes in capturing the special moments of weddings and graduations, having gear that you can rely on is essential. The last thing you want is to miss out on the perfect shot because your equipment isn’t functioning as it should.
Before you get busy do a spring Lens tune-up
So, as you prepare to embark on your next photographic journey, take a moment to go through your gear with a fine-tooth comb. Check your lenses for any dust or debris that might have accumulated during storage, and give them a gentle wipe with a lens cloth to ensure crystal-clear images.
