Great review like usual. Too bad you don't compare with the contemporary version. For me in the L-mount system, what do I get for close to 1000$ more?

I recently ordered a Canon mount Contemporary version. I would like a Canon 400 or 600 mm lens but I don't have that kind of money. I will need to get used to the F5 to F6.4 lenses. But I am sure if I shoot with a higher ISO I should be okay. Thanks for the great teview.

I wonder how this compares to the Canon RF 100-500 F4.5-7.1. I don't know how you'd accurately compare it given the fact that Canon hasn't opened up the RF mount yet. I think that'd be an interesting comparison though given the trade offs and fact the RF is an "L" lens (comparable to the Sigma Art line I think, whereas I think the Sports are a step down from Art?)

In this class, Nikon 200-500mm is all you ever need 📸

We all know that real competitor here is Sony 200-600. It definately deserves comparison and I'm sure there will be many as it's less expensive option. And it looks quite sharp. The biggest disadvantage here is that Sony lens have internal zoom, where this thing is long. I know some people may enjoy long things, but here it's opposite. On the other hand, probably because of that Sony have quite long minimum focusing distance.

Can some of the patreons suggest Chris to test various different lenses found integrated into different one inch sensor compact cameras? Some of them are very good, and others are straight up awesome and you usually wont see that many people testing them out like Chris does here for regular lenses.

See loads of resources online on equivalence, like Tony Northup or F-stoppers, which explain this in detail. So, your RX100 24-70 lens is a F4.8-F7.5, so to compare sharpess with a Full Frame lense, you'll have to set the FF lens to F4.8-F7.5, otherwise you're not comparing like with like. A Full Frame F1.8 lens is not the same as the one in the RX100.

Good review , early hands on new Sigma Telephoto lens, keep it up, Sony is killing all other brands .

When you say 'brand new', I paused the video to check the posting date...😅😅 then noticed the 'DG DN' letters. PS. Tamron 150-500 is doomed😅

I've got the 100-400 contemporary and I'm not terribly happy with it. It's decent for landscape shots but its AF accuracy is pretty bad (on an A7R3) and I really don't like the bokeh. I think I'll be swapping it out for this one.

Does this fit a 3500 nikon??

Seems that it's sharper than the Sony 200-600mm OSS.

can it adapt to nikon z 6

I wonder if this works with any of Sony's teleconverters. Since we don't have E-mount versions of Sigma's. I tried to google this for the 100-400 not long ago and it didn't seem like anyone has actually tried it.

In L-mount, the other Sigmas (105, 100-400) can use both Panasonic and Sigma TCs, apparently, (and the S Pro lenses can use the Sigma TCs) though without accurate EXIF (+ IBIS still works). On the other hand, Sony have apparently forbidden third-party TCs so perhaps they've locked it down electronically or physically.

I hope this goes to RF mount eventually.

You could always get a Lumix S5 or Sigma FP just to use with this lens since the camera+lens would still be cheaper than Nikon options. Nikon won't allow Sigma to use the Z mount until they are in a very strong position since it diverts profit from them in most cases.

I'm currently testing the 200-600 on loan from a family member to see if I want to buy it, and so far I haven't been over the moon with it like I was when right from the hop with the 100-400mm GM. At least not enough to drop $2,000 on it. With the Sigma being $500ish cheaper, that may be more compelling for me, so I'm looking forward to your upcoming comparison.
