I wish you showed sample images to show what you mean by the sports lens was sharper, every other video I’ve seen say sharpness was about the same and with no noticeable difference in image quality. One video also showed comparison shots at different focal lengths and apertures and stated he could see no difference.

I own both and the contemporary is actually sharper at its longest focal length lol

Excellent video man, very well explained in detail, now I know which one to buy, you already have a new follower, I wish you much success, I send you hugs from Peru

Great video thanks. Did you notice any difference in auto focus speed and accuracy between the two lenses? How well weather sealed is the contemporary version?

How both lens act when we shoot a moving subject ! Likd shooting flying bird ?

Awesome! Thank you!

Is there any difference in Zoom operation? I have heard that it is very slow to soom the contemporary.

Thank you for this Video, it helps me a lot what i want to buy.

Is the contemporary not available for Sony e mount?

I can not believe how a video this good has only so little views. Really underrated in my opinion.

what makes it sharper? What is the difference in each camera that would make for this ?

apparently the contemporary is 1/3 stop faster than the sport around 350mm. can anyone confirm that?

If money is of no concern, then 9 times out of ten, you should go for the more expensive item, but if cost is a concern, then you need a lot more nuance. This is the main reason I opted for the Contemporary version.

Hello. I was curious what the difference between the 2 lenses is for continuous shooting?? I do photos for my son's baseball team and do a lot of burst/continuous shooting to try to catch plays. I have always had Nikor lenses for my Nikon D7500, so just seeing if there is significant difference between the contemporary vs the sports. Thanks.

Hmm sad that you didnt mention something about autofocus speed on moving subjects like birds, cars, planes etc....

after seeing the comments I already understand about the weather seal feature and build quality, but I'm getting confused about the sharpness of these two lenses because some people think the c version lens is sharper

very nice review.

I myself would need to see the images in all comparisons

I don't know why I prefer the Sports lens, but I prefer the Sports lens. BRAVO.

Adding a UV filter does not reduce lens flaring. In fact, adding another glass surface is likely to increase flaring or ghosting. A super multi coated filter is less likely to add flare than using a non multicoated filter. 2.8 meters is not the lens minimum focussing distance, it's the lens minimum autofocus distance. Mine manually focusses to under 2.6 meters. Sample variation can make either lens sharper than the other when comparing any pair of contemporary and sport lenses. On average I would expect the sport to be a bit sharper. Cheap filters can destroy sharpness. I tried a cheap polaroid filter, it created a donut of blurriness between center and edge of frame.

This vid should have 10,000 likes

Just wondering how does adding another glass element helps to reduce lens flare?

@PhotoFeaver

2 жыл бұрын

It's not be adding of the glass element that help reduces lens flaring, it's the coating of that new glass element that reduces light scattering, the primary cause of lens flaring and a lack of contrast. I hope that helps

@PHOT0GUY

@@PhotoFeaver The same elements that are under the filter will still create the same amount of lens flaring. The coating of the filter does not change the light passing through it to the lens, it just means that a multi coated filter exhibits less flaring than a non coated filter. The lens elements will still create the same amount of flare, otherwise all lens manufacturers would need to do to fix lens flare would be to add more multicoating.

I've seen other comparisons between these two lenses where the Contemporary was sharper, so I think on the average they're probably about even. I've never tried the sports version, but I do own the Contemporary, and I certainly have no complaints about the sharpness. By the way, very few people use UV filters now. Every digital camera already has an inbuilt UV filter (sitting on the sensor) which is probably better. And the filter offers no protection whatsoever against damages. The front element of the lens is much sturdier that any filter. So the only value of a UV filter is protection against getting dust, dirt, grease and grime onto the lens. So if you think that's a problem, by all means get a filter.

Great video. In NZ the C lens is $1800NZD as opposed to the S lens which is $2900. Im trying to decide whether the extra $1100 will be worth it for the sport lens, as i plan on doing motorsport photography. Is there much difference between the autofocus on the 2 lenses?

Go for sport mate. I have Sport version for Canon EF and Canon EXT 2x III and this setup is amazing with R6. Was abelto get usable quality even at forest where you need to pump ISO a litle. Mostly did 1500-2000 ISO and only pixel peeping shows grain there. Auto focus and eye tedection works well. I did do some tuning with Sigma doc by reducing focusing speed and limited focusing area to far end. Cheap 1200mm there and with APS-C 1920mm.

ive seen about 10 videos on both of these lenses and some of them where pro photographers and they could almost not see any different in image quality on these, but the sport was a tad sharper, but for any amateur or hobby photographer it wouldnt be noticed and for under 1000$ it was more bargain than the sport lens.

Am always coming back here to watch reviews of lens I can’t afford because photography is my hobby 😢😢😢

I order the cheap one but honestly sport will mostly be better in any way since it’s 2 times the price

will the sport be easy to handheld and i care about the weather sealing

The Sigma Sports lens is fairly easy to handheld, but I do recommend either using a tripod or monopod for extended uses. But yes the big benefit is better where the ceiling and overall build quality.

I just check and both lenses are at the same price now ;d

I don’t think he covered weather sealing during build quality. For wildlife photographers who shoot in tropic or rainy environments, the weather sealing in the sport lens is priceless. As a 1dx shooter, having a fully weather sealed setup is fantastic. Does get extremely heavy pairing a 1dx2 with the sport but eh. It rains a lot where I live haha

Hi, the sport lens has better weather sealing if that's what you are looking for? Thanks for the comment!

If weight is an issue then the Sigma 600-600mm really makes sense. But where this 60-600mm lens really shines is that it's one the few camera lenses that is "Parfocal" meaning it retains perfect focus at all zooms levels. A necessity for shooting high-end video. The Sigma 150-600mm sport is NOT PARFOCAL so if you shoot video this is not the sense for you. All Cine Lenses are par focal but Cinema lenses are quite expensive for this reason. Understand that more than 90% of the photography lenses by Canon, Nikon and yes Sony are not parfocal because the cost to make it that way. Some lens come close to being parfocal but be careful because if you are not paying attention you can get burnered by that almost perfect focus. For critical work keep it parfocal. Also even if you are not much of a videographer having the focus still perfect even though you have zoomed in and out is a boon for nature photographers.

The sport version has bigger and better options - perhaps because it's also $1000.00+ more as well! As the ol' saying goes; you get what you pay for!!

thank you for that comparison. good information. the video is sadly a bit too long. i wished there were more original pictures oder videos that were shot with these lenses. thank you

Im shocked the twice as expnsive lens from the same manufacturer is better 😂. And unfortunately the price has exploded 1049 € for the contemporary with 1.4 extender , 999.89 without , and 1900 for the sports.

There is no need to compare at all. All indicators of the sports model are better than the C model, but the weight and volume are larger and heavier. This is obvious from visual observation. You can know the advantages and disadvantages from the price positioning. Your so called "Compare" is a bit redundant~

Well gee, the lens that is almost $1000 MORE expensive is better. Who would have guessed! LMAO
