@@sonofnothing not necessarily, like they said at times animals come really close to you and 60mm is way better than 200mm. Changing lenses repeatedly is a PITA, 2 cameras with 2 lenses is expensive so 60-600 is way more versatile than 200-600. I really want the Sony but the dilemma is the Sigma is way more versatile.

For me, the promary reason to have a zoom with 500 or 600mm focal length is to get the long end of the range. Getting the shorter end comes in handy, but I buy it for the reach and that's where I want the best performance.

Great review, thank you. I do not see bird photographers rushing out to sell their 200-600 however. The Sigma is heavier, much more expensive (here in the UK anyway), unbalanced on tripods, horrible extension to lens body when zooming, and a so-so build quality - all compared to the 200-600. The 200-600 is so well built, lighter, sharp, quick & silent auto-focus and at a a great price. I've never really used anything less than 200mm as a commercial bird photographer (wild birds) in 25 years. The 200-600mm is also very nearly comparable to my Sony 600mm f4 at f6.3 in terms of sharpness and autofocus speed.

For sure. My sigma 100-400 was pretty useful but realized how much the AF was lacking once I got my 200-600. Sounds like this 60-600 would fix the focus. 200mm is definitely too tight within half a base line, but I would miss the small zoom throw of the 200-600. Compromise either way but the 60-600 would be a compelling all around lens.

I've used the Sigma 50-500 and Tony is correct...when used in the field over long periods of time dust does get in internally. I've used this lens all around the world filming wildlife professionally and saw this first hand. I tried to send it in for cleaning and was told that the internal workings had a sticky coating and therefore they are unable to clean the lens. Having dust spots grow as you zoom in created longer editing time! I'm looking forward to trying the 60-600

While the Sigma is great for wildlife, you missed the opportunity to discuss what to my mind is one of the biggest advantages of the extra range on the short side. If you are photographing sports (football, lacrosse, field hockey) the action frequently moves quickly from close to the sideline you are standing by to the far end zone, or vice versa. With this lens you can get close ups of both the quarterback throwing the pass 15 yard from where you are standing, and then the reception 60 yards away.

I have been interested in (sea)birds all my life and have seen a lot but NEVER seen anything like this! Completely lost focus on the lens, but have googled around and asked my competent friends if this is something seagulls do - usually. NO, this is probably something that can be demonstrated to ornithologists and zoological scientists.

Hello Tony & Chelsea, I am a wildlife photographer that does a lot of wildlife photography and videography in the backcountry of Colorado. I am planning to buy either this lens or the Sony in the near future. Due to my shooting style I really am interested in the sigma more because I like to shoot wide images of wildlife to show context and a scene as well as portraits of animals. The only thing possibly keeping me from pulling the trigger on the sigma is I’ve heard mixed thoughts about image quality. I will gladly switch back and forth lenses if it means the image quality will be noticeably better especially at the tighter zoom ranges 400-600. In your experience shooting with this lens in real world scenarios do you think it would be a noticeable difference in image quality that will make me regret not opting for the Sony?

I have the 200-600 and when I want something more compact I use the 100-400 Sony or the 150-500 tamron. This new sigma looks good for people who only want one lens from short to long but the weight is off putting. It’s a do all the things slightly less well sort of lens but it looks sharp and well made. Such a positive to have so many good lenses from Sony and third parties. It’s good to see an improvement over the previous sigma 150-600 for Sony e as that was very disappointing AF wise. At the same price as this new sigma for wildlife the sony 200-600 still represents great value.

That was my same question, Tony and Chelsea. I just returned from a Safari in Kenya and really enjoyed shooting on the Tamron 150-500 but I wonder if I would have been better served by a lens with teleconverter support. There is no official teleconverter support for a third-party, super telephoto, or e-mount lense; as far as I know. However, I'm curious if any of the lenses will simply work with a sony or third-party teleconverter.

AWESOME video and so very informative! what was refreshing was no adverts!! I GET IT and i understand but sometimes 3 times in a vid is tiring LOL but I think i know what i will buy. so, do i stay Canon (reluctance) or go Sony A7R IV... not happy with Canon's stance on 3rd party lenses

That's about as close as you can balance it since the foot is too short.

@@TonyAndChelsea may I ask why do you use a gimbal head? Would balance be a problem on tripod if I use other type of heads, say a fluid head or a ball head? Also, does the Song 200-600 really not have a similar balance issue while zooming on a gimbal head? I was expecting the movement of lens internally when zooming would be enough to shift the center of gravity on the lens?

Tony & Chelsea, I always love your practical sensible reviews and always feel I can trust them. Regarding the limitation in FPS (on the A1) I recently read Sony categorically claiming the limitation applied to third party lenses is the fault of those third parties and not Sony. However, that being said, is not limiting a product like this anti-competitive and anti-customer/consumer? I thought Apple had been penalised for the same activity?

Having borrowed the Sony, and not being overly impressed with it (especially compared to the 100-400GM, which is fantastic), I've been curious how this would stack up. But boy you are right about the dust sucking. I've got a specialized tech vacuum I use to clean the 100-400.

Interesting. Why did you like 100-400mm so much? I own both and my experience is the opposite: lens creep, no strap eyelets, essential 10m-2.4m focus limiter mode is missing. While even not being sharper than 200-600mm except for the corners. I still use GM when I need a closer reach/MFD or more compact size but it just feels like a much older development.

@@d_r_e_g It's definitely an older design, but I've found it more sure and fast in its autofocus on my A9, where the 200-600 I borrowed seemed slower and tended to focus hunt a lot. And at least to my eyes on both the A9 and A7R3, the images from the 100-400 were much sharper and clearer. The minimum focus distance of the 200-600 made it impractical for anything but distance shooting, while a lot of what I need is closer in. And the GM, because it does collapse, is much much easier for me to pack for travel, event, dance shoots, etc.

The advantage of the external zoom on the Sigma is the fact that you can push/pull to zoom instead of using the zoom ring so that could be useful for faster zooming.
@TonyAndChelsea
@TonyAndChelsea 2 жыл бұрын
I haven't found the push/pull capability to be an advantage. It extends your arm awkardly, there's no grip on the end to push or pull it, and it's not significantly quicker because the extension speed seems limited by either the gearing or the airflow.
@mrwashur1991
@mrwashur1991 2 жыл бұрын
Also the Sony has like a 90° focus throw so it’ll still be quicker. There’s zero advantage for an external zoom over internal. I’m not harping on the sigma at all but their external zoom is cumbersome. It’s even less worth it when the Sony is the same price.

@TonyAndChelsea Tony you complained about the length of the foot, but did you know it exists replacement foot for the sigma 150-600 mm and for some other big lenses from canon or nikon? As I suppose that sigma didn't change the design, I suspect that the replacement foot will be compatible. The manufacturer is jobu design
