Which one are you going for?

@networm64 3 жыл бұрын

None! Still waiting for one of these great manufacturers to give us a 600mm at least as they not going to accept teleconvertors. An apsc version being really lighter can be a good option too.... These are both heavy for a crop body

@michelleosborne8958 2 жыл бұрын

Just sold the Sigma 100-400 to buy the Tamron 150-500. I shoot dogs in action and found it just couldn't keep up. I'm hoping that the Tamron does better (it's arriving tomorrow!). I don't do little birds in flight so that doesn't tell me much. But if it's as fast as my Tamron 70-180, then it'll be a big step up from the Sigma.

Right now I'd go for the Sigma because of the price difference and the weight. However I'm not looking to buy any until in a few years - other lenses first. If by that time the Tamron has come down in price (& weight 😉) it might be an option... Great comparison review once again Stefan!

Looked to me like the OS was far better on the Sigma, I hear version 2 firmware is said to solve the AF hit rate issues. Other than that, a good review, although the tables may be turned when the new Sigma 150-600 dn is put up against the Tamron. Plus is cheaper too :-)

I've had the sigma 100-400 for several months now, and I mostly use it for landscape, which it's perfectly good for. However, I have not been terribly impressed with its AF, especially with moving targets. I've certainly gotten some excellent wildlife photos out of this lens, but the focus hit rate (even with animal eye AF on) is never good, and I usually walk away with a majority of photos off-focus ever so slightly when shooting wildlife. The only other criticism I have is the bokeh rendering is not my favorite. It's not terrible or anything, but it's slightly busy and can be quite distracting in some situations. If there's tall grass behind an animal for instance, it ends up looking a bit crazy. I may end up selling mine and buying the new 150-600 sport lens sigma just announced/leaked.

@masoncheung715 2 жыл бұрын

Mine was terrible and unacceptable，compared with my 200-600 G. But I have to say that 100-400 sigma is perfect for landscape, it is sharp enough and cheap enough.

Sigma has better stabilization as you can see so for video I'd pick that 1. But if you have the money then go for the Sony 100-400 or 200-600.

400mm just isn't long enough for me. I have the 200-500mm Nikkor which I use on a crop-sensor body (giving me 750mm equivalent) and about 40 percent of the time I STILL add a 1.4x teleconverter to it. (This is for mostly shooting birds.)

@edc641 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't pick this lens for wildlife specifically. I'd use my Sony 200-600 for that. Crop mode + TC = 1260mm. But for landscape this lens is a winner.

@MarcelVolker 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not a lens designer but does it really work like that... Zoom out to 500 then back to 485 and get an extra third of a stop of light from the aperture? I would guess the aperture itself is stepless and what you're actually seeing is the crossover at 485mm from it being displayed rounded down (from f/6.49 to 6.3) to rounded up (from f/6.51 to 6.7). Can someone confirm?

@jeroenvdw Жыл бұрын

Yeah I have the Tamron lens and was thinking about this too. It's not like the lens suddenly drops it's ISO down if you go from 6.7 to 6.3, so I guess your theory is correct.

You're correct. Dave McKeegan has a video on the topic.

4:04 that's the right direction for a lens to zoom in! IDK why Sigma went with the wrong direction. Zooming out will be easier that way, but for wildlife zoomin in quickly is the matter. Even with this being said I prefer the Sigma, Tamron's only 100mm more reach cant justify being 500$ more in price and 600g in weight! Canon 100-500 is optically superior to this lens and weights 300g less! I'm still waiting for them to make a 300-600 5.6-7.1 or even 8. Being a little lighter and a great match with their 70-300 which is only 500g. Even the Sigma with a tripod colar will be around 1.3kg which can't justify its 400mm reach only.

@StefanMalloch 3 жыл бұрын

The Sigma does have the ability to zoom by pushing and pulling too. Optically, the Tamron is much better, specially in the corners. Wonder why we didn't see a 150-600..

@networm64 3 жыл бұрын

@@StefanMalloch well it seems sigma's 150-600 is on the way! And I know about that push and pull ability of sigma's, but never holding a big lens like that as it causes more shakes by the reduced stability when you extend your arm. Laws of physics!

Bro for the image stabilization you need to shoot higher shutter speeds that’s just common sense 1/20 of a sec is always gona be blurry and correction the tamron can shoot 30 frames a second burst mode
