Hello bird lovers. I have both lenses. 150-600 perfect for a tripod. Hard to carry. 100-400 light to hand. The photos from both lenses are beautiful. Greetings from Poland.

Thanks for your comment. 👍 You're right, both lenses are very good in their own way. That's why I still own both and haven't been able to part with either lens. Greetings from Germany.

I bought the 100-400mm purely for the weight reason. No point having a lens that’s too heavy to carry around. True the background blur isn’t as good as the 600mm but if you get the right background it doesn’t matter too much. Sometimes for tracking birds in flight you don’t want to be too tight in framing as you can loose track if they change direction. The main advantage of the 600mm is for the tiny birds like Robins, finches etc.

Thanks for your comment. The 100-400 is also one of my favorite lenses. it is very light and compact for the focal length. above all, it is also very sharp

This is the exact video i was looking for. I'm wondering which of the two to get, and I'm now closer to a decision. I really liked the side by side zoom useful to get a clearer idea of the differences in focal length.

Just the right video for me. The 150-600 is a bit heavy for hiking. Thinking about the lighter Sigma 100-400. I easily held my old Leica 100-400 for micro 4/3, and it was just a bit lighter than the Sigma 109-400.

Hello, I use an APS-C camera, and I started with a Tamron 70-300, but I would like to take a leap in quality and go for something better, which one would you recommend? I like photography of animals, whether they are birds or others. Which of these two is better? Should I buy something other than any of these? thank you and very good video

@dawa5581 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment 👍 In my point of view for APS-C the Sigma 100-400 is very good. I have also other test-videos on my channel with other Tele lenses on APS-C. Maybe these will help you too in your decision 😉

I recently purchased Panasonic S5 IIX with kit lens 20-60 and 50mm f1.8 Now planning to add telephoto lens between Panasonic Lumix S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro O.I.S. Lens or may be Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens (Leica L)

@dawa5581 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. I've never shot with Panasonic and unfortunately don't know the lenses. I can only say that the Sigma 100-400 is a very good and sharp lens and you won't regret buying it. ;-)

Yes I have both lenses for my APS-c camera. However I just got a Lumix S5 and will need one or both of these. Weight is the deciding factor. The 100-400 is an everyday lens for landscape and wildlife for me. The 600mm is heavy to lug around. I have used it for bird photography handheld, with success, but looking for rests where possible. Suits a tripod. So I'm getting the 400mm next and followed by the 600mm noting that these are around £1000 each for good used. Video is excellent and very helpful. (I do have an adapter for my existing lenses but I get vignetting)

@dawa5581 7 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for your comment 👍 I see it the way like you do. I have use also the 150-600 for bird and wildlife photography but only once or twice a year and the 100-400 is smaller, lighter and I am using it more often.

Hola, ya que tienes los dos objetivos, cual de los dos dirias que que es mas nitido, yo dudo si uno o el otro para mi a 6700 para fauna.

@@josemanuelnovo725 los dos objetivos son muy buenos, pero cuando lo quieres usar en el A6700 100-400 será más mejor porque pesa menos.

Thinking about getting the 100-400mm. It has greater versatility imo. The 100-400 converts to 150-600 on an APSC sensor or in crop mode on my A7R IIIa. WIth the 150-600 you cant really reverse it PLUS the weight difference.. 1.7 kg is A HUGE difference!! so def more prone for the 100-400mm and it is my impression that people reach out for this lens more often than the other due to its versatility. But great vid buddy, thanks!

@dawa5581 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. 👍 I never know which one to take with me. I love the look of the 150-600 but it's just so big and heavy. That's why I often take the 100-400 with me and live with some compromises.

I made a bunch of tests on my own and came to this conclusion: The sigma 100-400mm at 400mm f/6.3 is not sharp enough to make use of higher sensor resolution than about 24MP. Through many different tests I could conclude that at 400mm f/6.3, I could never see any difference in detail (when pixel peeping) between photos taken with sony a7c 24MP and photos taken with sony a7c ii 33MP. However, if I switched to my Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM lens, I would easily see difference. This means that at 24MP and higher, the lens was the bottleneck. So just a heads up, if you want to make the most out of e.g. Sony A7IV or Sony A7RV, the Sigma 100-400 is not sharp enough at 400

Thank you for your comment. I used a Sony A7RIII with 42 MP for this test and I'm really impressed with the quality. But I also have to say that there are some differences in the quality testing of sigma and tamron. I also made a video about this on my channel. The differences in quality are sometimes frightening.

Can u recommended me which lens do I buy, I am using APS-c not full frame, is the sigma 100-400mm lens on APS-s totally enough taking photos of bird??? And you have a very good comparison!!!

@dawa5581 8 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. 👍 If your main topic are birds, than I would go with the Sigma 150-600. You will get a better reach and of course also a better bokeh. I’ve also tested the sigma 100-400 on APS-C on my channel a few times. Maybe these videos will help you too 😉

Great video , i have been using 100-400 mm sigma for just over 2 years and recently been contemplating getting a 150-600 mm. Is it worth having both ?

@dawa5581 7 ай бұрын

@@darshantalawadekar1296 thank you for your comment 👍 I still have both but I use the 100-400 more. To be honest, I’m using the 150-600 only for birds or a little wildlife ones or twice a year.
