Superb build quality; smooth; compact; reasonably priced. For a first time slider purchase Zeapon's Micro 2 Plus with motor is great. But the Zeapon has only a single axis, limited travel, and an app not ready for prime time, so if you're ambitions are higher, you'll need to look elsewhere. Buy here: geni.us/7KBJ9B
Special thanks to Sigma, our friend Mark Forman and the good folks at Tamron, too!

Your closing comments to this review (that all of these various lens choices are great once you take off your useless pixel-peeping blinders) is, I think, the most important part of this review.

This was maybe the greatest lens review I have ever watched and I hope other youtubers are taking note on how to properly provide useful information. For example the bit on mounting the lens at 600mm on a slider as well as the analysis of the photos was excellent. Wonderful video and keep up the great review style!

@Stone1108 2 года назад

I bet that Sigma lens fully extended and further cropping the image from a high resolution sensor 47 for example on the Lumix S1R or Leica SL provides an amazing reach when focus is pin. I have just begun using such a strategy with the 70-200 when air conditions permit and you get to play on the different compression effect . ‘…just showing up…’ kinda nails it. Thanks for yet another educative and entertaining video Hugh, I will get to NY and look you guys up one day! 👏

@manleycreations6466 3 года назад

For the record I use the Sigma 100-400 on my Sony APS-C A6400 for nature. As long as the sun is out I have never had an issue getting the shot. I go hiking with it and I have no issues with fatigue, as the whole setup is very light (comparatively). The lens is 2.5lbs or 1160g and it works for me. I have thought about getting some more reach but even with my 24Mp sensor I can still crop a bit and get nice photos so I haven't yet had the need.

You are an amazing man, brilliant, uplifting, thought provoking... I have been watching videos on the Tamron 150-500, the Sigma 150-600 and the Sony 200-600 all week and you, my dear man, are so far above the rest. I am not, at all, demeaning these people - because they are gifted as well - but you creatively mention things that no one says. Even though I would like to have the extra 100mm reach the Sigma can give, i am going to get the Tamron due to its better video-focus quality. I have the Sony 7S1 and the A7C and I noticed how much better the video quality is on the A7C, making cropping-in an option. I learned through editing that more resolution is better. I watch your video a few times since I am bit slow. I want to thank you for your hard work. You really tell it like it is...sincerely ...ps love the art behind you!!!

You Sir, are the Jeff Goldblum of photographic equipment reviews. Surely it must have been said before? To my embarrassment, I'll admit this is the first time that I've watched one of your videos - it won't be the last! Compelling, immersive, eloquent. Technically engaging but with the humanity to deliver complex detail, without any trace of sterility and all the time, proving your masterful overview of the subject. Having considered this Sigma lens, to accompany my purchase of the new Sony A7IV, your review has given me an alternate viewpoint. One that forces me to ask myself more questions because, excellent as the Sigma clearly is, I need to be 100% sure that it's the right telephoto for my usage case - perhaps the Tamron or other Sigma would be better? Thank you from an amateur photographer. Subscribed. PS: You're also better looking than Jeff Goldblum and I say that as a heterosexual male. Sorry Mr Goldblum.

@ernreeders5583 3 года назад

1. Re cropping from hi res sensors, my understanding is that resolution is understood not as mpix in an area but on a side so eg a 62 mpix sensor doesn't have 50% more resolution more than 42 mpix. 2. TCs aren't an option for the E mount anyway. 3. The short end of a super telephoto zoom is useful in wildlife shooting when you're going to a new place and don't know what to expect.

@3BMEP 3 года назад

Hey, Ern. 1) you’re right about resolution - which is why I said “more than twice the pixels,” rather than resolution. 2) not sure about TC’s on Sony - what do you mean? 3) agreed!

@alchemist_x79 3 года назад

@@3BMEP for number 2 I'm assuming they mean the E-Mount versions of the Sigma 150-600 and 100-400 don't have a teleconverter they can use and are not compatible with the sony 1.4x and 2x TC's. I recall reading one time that was a limit imposed by Sony to protect their native TC's but I could be making that up.

Hugh - another excellent video, thanks! I have some heavy telephoto lenses from Sigma and for Fujifilm medium format. But on a recent trip to Disney World, my telephoto needs were perfectly met with the Panasonic 50-100mm mounted on a Panasonic G100 - a great tiny telephoto combo when doing lots of walking around.

@rasmus_mattsson 2 года назад

”Show up”. I believe that is the single most important factor in photography. Well said and a great review! I believe I’ll get the lens for L-mount for birding, wild life and water sports. L-mount needs more love in those genres anyway 😁

@Cunabula_Adrian 3 года назад

Another cracking video Hugh. I've been borrowing my brother's G9 with the Leica 50-200 which is a beautiful combo and I keep looking longingly at the Sigma 100-400 for my S1 (not that my pocket will be anywhere big enough any time soon). Will be interesting to compare when it eventually happens or I can find somewhere that'll rent me one.

@entrigueall2661 2 года назад

Excellent review, very informative. I have the Leica 100-400mm for my G9 very good lens. And the 100-400mm for my S5. The difference in reach between the two is quite noticeable now I find myself doing a lot of wildlife. I may trade in the Sigma 100-400mm for the 150-600mm L mount. Thanks for the honest review.

@philippkaller3551 6 месяцев назад

Please explain me how does it make sense to compare shots that are taken on different days and lighting conditions... There might be a significant difference in terms of air quality that diminishes sharpness regardless of the gear that is used?!

@3BMEP 6 месяцев назад

Valid concern. The question is: can we get conditions similar enough so that we can make reasonable comparisons in the real world, or do we opt instead for test charts at near minimum focusing distance for repeatability? We opt for the former.

@tedbahas 3 года назад

Great review! I am conflicted. I have the 100-400 for my birding but man would it be nice to have that extra 200mm. I just don’t think the added weight is worth it. Do you hate image quality of the adapter? Will it bug me?

@3BMEP 3 года назад

Hey, Ted. The real key with teleconverters is how much light they lose, and the knock-on effect to ISO and/or shutter speed - and therefore suitability of subject. I DON’t hate the quality of them - but I’d rather use sensor resolution or longer reach to get what I want. 😊

@007silverwings 3 года назад

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Have you tried this new lens with the Panasonic S1 or S5? If so, how was your experience? Thanks

@3BMEP 3 года назад

I haven’t, but if you don’t need to crop, I’m confident it will be excellent.

@AVerkhovsky 2 года назад

It is frustrating to see that many otherwise very reasonable people repeat the misconceptions about cropping and TCs. Cropping is the same as increasing ISO, crop sensor at ISO 6400 will perform nearly identically to a full frame sensor of the same generation at ISO 12800. So even if you have to raise ISO while using TC, you don't lose image quality because of this (higher ISO is compensated by the increase of the size of your subject on the sensor). At the same time you gain in number of pixels per your subject, which, under good conditions, will translate into higher resolution, and in the worst case you still don't lose anything. Therefore, when one needs to crop, using TC is in most cases a better option than cropping. Especially for the usage cases like architecture when the AF speed (which, as some argue, TC can slow down) is not relevant.

@rayspencer5025 Год назад

You could have also included the software factor and PP. I have found that in PP I can improve image quality enough to account for around 20% to 30% increase in focal length. Also it allows me to shoot a lens like the Tamron 18-400mm (which is a little on the soft side) instead of hauling my 17-70mm and 100-400mm. The one lens (and no extra filters) covers nearly all my more typical needs when scouting locations or traveling.

Excellent & insightful review Hugh. Thanks. To your point about trying to hold this lens steady & having to bump up ISO even in broad daylight, I've found that when using long lenses on my Leica SL2 & SL2-S, I use the electronic shutter outdoors. There's definitely an element of shutter slap with these cameras, which is amplified by the longer lenses. The ES Canon

@alchemist_x79 3 года назад

Re: Resolution... you're exactly right. I've been borrowing the Sony 200-400 for a few months to see if I wanted to buy it. It's a great lens, but I don't think I will buy it, because on my a7RIV and RIII, I've been pretty much just as happy shooting with my tried and true 100-400GM (one of my favorite lenses) and cropping in post (or shooting in 26MP on the RIV.) Same story with the 135GM I've been carrying it and getting some very decent wildlife shots with it at a much lighter weight, because I can crop. I'm sure that flies in the face of the "get it right in camera" crowd, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@briangc1972 3 года назад

I must say that you really talked your way around in circles telling us that the Sigma is close, but not quite there yet. Bottom line is it takes more than $1500 to get great colors and great performance from any lens; especially a lens that is over 150mm in length.

I have found that out of camera colors with the Sigma are a distant 3rd place to Panasonic's 2nd place to Leica's 1st place on my SL. Adapting my R lenses on my SL yields better color and better IQ for pixel peeping. As Hugh said, "If you are shooting B&W, it doesn't;t matter." translated to mean the colors of the Sigma aren't quite right.
