Was taking photos of birds and squirrels around my neighborhood this past weekend with this exact set up. Extremely fun and was happy with the results. Thanks for putting up you settings with each picture. I got some great, clear photos but looking at your settings I should increase my shutter speed in the future to get more consistency. Thanks again for the video.

@TomsJurjaks 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Ty! As a rule of thumb I try to have the shutters speed to be double of the focal length. So if im shooting at 400mm (thats 600mm on apsc), will try to have it around 1/1200 or 1/1000. I know IBIS and OSS helps, but better safe with a little noise than sorry 😀 good luck!

@DrFrankRink Месяц назад

I went with this lens for portability and quality. The GM's will outresolve it, but Sony's 200-600 is unwieldy and the 100-400 is 2.5 times the price. This lens, paired with Sigma's 500mm new prime, are a great combo relative to size and quality. Thanks for a video that verifies those thoughts.

@Nokillok 5 месяцев назад

Toms, i have this lens along with a6700, IMO i feel that images are soft around 400mm @ f6.3, tried @ f8, images get sharper in center only, maybe it could be because of my style of shooting, let me know your view about the lens at f6.3 and f8 taken at focal length of 400mm

@TomsJurjaks 5 месяцев назад

Let me try that specific setup and settings and I will get back to you

@marcianoed9101 5 месяцев назад

Really cant decide between the Sigma 100-400 and 150-600. I mainly want to use it on hikes, to shoot landscape and some Wildlife here and there. Not sure if 400mm is enough for Wildlife. Excellent video nonetheless!

@TomsJurjaks 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! Well after trying 150-600 I was very convinced of getting 100-400. I also like to hike and go places and thought that 150-600 is just too much to casually bring it just in case. If you really aim to go to a hide and shoot birds, totally worth getting the 150-600. Another alternative which I was considering, but couldnt justify the cost is to get Sony's 100-400 and use it with x2 teleconverter when you need more reach. Yes you double the aperture, but also the focal length. On the other hand, if you have a camera like Sony A7RV - it has enough megapixels to crop in.

@marcianoed9101 5 месяцев назад

@@TomsJurjaks First of all, thank you for the quick and detailed reply. I think the Sigma 100-400 is the best option for my needs. I prefer the "run and gun" shooting style and dont want to carry too much weight on longer hiking trips. Looked into the Sony variant, but yeh, the Price for the Lens + converter is just a bit to too pricey. You definitely helped me with my decision a lot! Thank you Sir🤝

@EarlPantaleon 3 месяца назад

Currently i am on the fence with 100-400 or a 150-600. Ive just started picking up a camera (a6400) to mainly capture family and casual walks/hikes etc. Im looking for a zoom lense that has enough reach from the back of hall to capture my kid’s school presentation and activities - ballet recital, outdoor netball etc. The distance is less than a rugby field end to end.. Maybe, some zoo/wildlife shooting here and there as well. Apart from the cost, the size and weight of the 150-600 is the biggest downside… it didnt come with a tripod mount without a reason… Im leaning now even more on the 100-400. What do you think?

@TomsJurjaks 3 месяца назад

@@EarlPantaleon personally I am very much enjoying the 100-400 especially on apsc which gives me that 150-600 focal length. I think its more versatile lens. The 150-600 on apsc will feel like “too much” both in terms of size as well as focal length. One note though, indoors you will have to crank the ISO up a LOT so best to use these lenses outdoors.

@haak737 16 дней назад

Sony 70-350mm lens is a good option (same f stop specs) and is much lighter and smaler. 625 grams vs 1160 grams. Also cheaper and the range between 70 and 100mm is often useful

@TomsJurjaks 16 дней назад

Thats right. If you exclusively gonna shoot with apsc cameras, I think its a great choice. Since I swap between FF and APSC all the time, chose this one instead of two separate lenses

@lewisoxford3664 4 месяца назад

Would this camera be good for air shows and places such as Mach loop to capture fast flying jets ?

@liamhardie97 5 месяцев назад

Little off topic for this video but what’s your thoughts on viewfinder vs no viewfinder on a camera, specifically apsc?

@TomsJurjaks 5 месяцев назад

I think it depends on a shooter. Personally, I never use the viewfinder. Mostly because I got used to looking at the screen while shooting videos. Also I find it extremely uncomfortable to look through the viewfinder, especially because I like to shoot from various angles (like put the camera on the ground). Therefore it is essential to have a great, high-res, bright, vari-angle monitor. So for example ZV-E10 not having a viewfinder would never be an issue for me.

im planning to get a telephoto lens for my sony a6400 bit confused with sony 70-350mm and this sigma 100-400mm which one should I pic. mostly i shoot birds and animals as a subject.

@TomsJurjaks 4 месяца назад

The 70-350 is also a really good option. If you ever plan on upgrading your a6400 to a full frame camera, invest in Sigma as thats a full frame lens and will work with both systems. However, you know that in foreseeable future you will stick with a6400, then I guess the Sonys lens might be a better option although I haven’t tested it for sharpness myself.

I opened this video as i thought that the photo examples will be of a6000 but Max photos were of other models 😐

@TomsJurjaks 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I tested this lens on 4 different cameras quite equally actually, but the most beautiful photos came from Sony A7IV and A6700 because I brought it on more impressive locations. The a6000 photos were good regarding the quality, but was quite "meh" to show the audience. I hope you still enjoyed the video because frankly, the image quality is not THAT different between the 3 APSC cameras I tested it on.

@dasnack 6 месяцев назад

For APSC wouldn't the Sony 70-350mm be the obvious choice?

@TomsJurjaks 6 месяцев назад

Yes, thats a really good option! Especially if you only want it for APSC. In my case its a “hybrid” lens and I love to use it on both systems (apsc and ff).
