Finding this video 2 years after upload - exactly what I was looking for. I had a Sigma 150-600 previously and it worked great. Obviously you can spend more, but for my use, I can't justify $2.5K on the Sony lens. If photography were a bigger hobby, maybe, but sometimes I go weeks/months without using it. I'll be pairing this with a Sony A6600 which is 3.6LB - very light. My prior setup - D500 w/ Sigma 150-600 - was 5.9LB. Weight savings is mostly for my sister - she loves birding, but had trouble with the heavier setup, especially if holding for a long period. She'll enjoy this one. Thanks for the thorough review.

Hell of a lens! *Humble suggestion for your future videos* - in the bright light reflection part of the review (11:39), would be nice to see how good of a job the lens hood does because their design differs with each lens. Couple other things you could mention is whether a firmware update on the lens changes anything, or what version you tested the lens at, and on the photo samples, you could write very small in the corner of the screen the SS/ISO/F-stop settings for that photo, and/or focal length where applicable. Keep up the amazing work, I have been your ambassador on Reddit :D
@christopherfrost4 жыл бұрын
I'll try and think about that, but frankly...the lens flare section of my tests is fairly unscientific, so it might be tricky for me to find careful and fair way to do that, hehe :-) Generally though, with this lens, I only found any kind of problems when bright lights were directly in the image frame, so a lens hood wouldn't help in that respect. With firmware updates, I try to review lenses quite early, before the firmware updates come out. But I do sometimes mention them in the description (see my review of the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4), so keep an eye out there. Thanks for the comment, all the best!

Generally the sport mode for lens stabilization (in this case would be mode 2 on this lens) only stabilizes the lens when the shutter is clicked. Mode 1 on this lens (which is like Normal IS/VR modes on OEM brands) will stabilize the viewfinder as well but I think the effectiveness when the picture is taken is less (so you run a higher risk of of a soft image than you would with mode 2). That's really the trade off. For Nikon's, it's like using the Normal and Sport modes (Sport would be Mode 2 in this case, and Normal would be mode 1). You just have to decide which mode is best for the situation. Generally I've found Normal modes to work best if you're trying to photograph something still and you are still (you're just trying to counter any slight movement from hand holding on a fixed subject), and Mode 2 is for if you're not still (say your on a boat, or youre panning).

It's a very intriguing lens. I've loved my 70-200 GM, but I've found myself in some situations photographing occasional wildlife or details in landscapes where I want more want more reach. I'm considering a 2X extender, the Sigma 100-400, or the 100-400 GM. The Sony 200-600 is also under consideration, but I'm concerned it's too big to want to travel with or carry around just in case. I'm leaning towards the Sigma, but have plenty of options to consider and don't need to rush on a purchase.

In focal lenght terms, distances are proportionals, not absolutes. Between 10mm and 15mm, it is a huge difference. Between 400mm and 405mm there ist't any (in this case, 600mm would show the same difference that in the 10-15mm example).

I was about to by Sony 70-350mm today, but now wait till it comes in market; compare both and make a correct choice.

Would you recommend the Sigma 100-400mm or the 70-350mm on an APSC camera?

70-350 if only in APS-C use. Smaller and lighter, same quality.

Another reviewer said the 100-400mm was much heavier than the 70-350mm. I have the 70-350mm and been taking photos of birds in the last 2 months. About a third of the time I wished I could have had a longer zoom, but unsure if the extra 50mm focal point is worth the weight difference.

Thoughts about this lens vs the 70-350 for APS-C? Obviously this one is larger but gets slightly more reach, etc.

Sigma 100-400 for sure! You can buy 1.4 TC for it soon! And dont forget when you buy Full Frame you wont need to buy another lens!

I'd be curious to see autofocus comparison with native Sony lens for wildlife. Also sharpness comparison.

Thank you for your review Christopher! Your videos are very helpful. Just checking that this lens would pair with the Sony a6000, would i lose image quality? (As this is a full frame lens). I was looking at the 70-350mm Sony lens but I'd like to eventually save up for a full frame body. The Sony lens is also more expensive in my part of the world.

I was saving up for the Sony 70-350mm that came out end of last year. Should I just switch over to this lens? What are some of the pros of the Sony over this one?

The aperture isn’t a problem IMO cause it will be almost always used outside in bright conditions.
