What camera backpack can you recommend for a larger setup like S5 II or EOS R6 with 60-600mm + second body + 24-70mm and maybe 50mm lenses? On top batteries, filters and a dji mini 3 drone would be awesome.
I guessed A was the sony, only because when you compared the bokeh shot, I noticed in the pic and you even said, the transition from the foreground shot to background was more gradual, which I attributed to the 11 blades. Great comparison video and thank you for doing this.
A massive thing for me, is the sony has internal zooming. No dust being sucked in when zooming from wide to supertele. If it is so good for safari for range of the zoom, it is a major flaw that air has to be sucked in. That air is often dry and dusty on a safari. Then there is the weight transfer. It is heavier to start with, then you shift a lot of that weight further forward. Image quality I agree there is very little in it.
When I got my Sony A7IV, I started with the Sony 200-600mm but I wasn't getting as many sharp shots as I thought I would. I decided to try the Sigma 60-600mm and the image stabilization is better than the Sony and I get so many more sharp shots now with the Sigma.
@@themoodyphotographer59 Could I ask did you have PROBLEMS with autofocus of 200-600 at the long end? My Sony lens at 600 sometimes DOESNT hunt at all, untill I back too the 350-400 mm, lock the target and then I can zoom again.. I would not like to have the same problems with 60-600! :| Secondly - I can though agree with you f6.3 images are soft and it's hit or miss, blurry whatever I can say.. like, shooting at less than 1/250 is a miracle if you have sharp ONE image after next 2-3 missed..
@@pentagramyt417 Yes, at the long end I would sometimes have to find a larger subject at around the same distance as what I was trying to lock onto, like a small bird, and then move to the bird and it made it easier. The Sigma locks on to smaller subjects better.
I guessed A was Sony just because of the color! I have shot with both of them! Can’t decide which one to buy. Love that the Sony has internal focus. Love that the sigma starts at 60mm! Decision decisions???? Thanks for a great review and video.
Sony was A. Knew it as soon as you showed the sky shot. Sony makes a deeper blue. I do like the sigma though for "when you can only bring one lens" situations.
I shot the sigma 120-300 f2.8 Sport with the Sigma TC 1.4 and 2.0 for a few years, stunning lens compared to the Nikon 120-300 f2.8 and now the new Canon 100-300 f2.8 the sigma cost R75k the Nikon R200k the canon will also sell for around R200k. In this case the price is very close to the Sony. But compared to Nikon Z mount 100-400 with TC 1.4 that cost R80k and the Sigma R36k.
I guessed correctly but in all honesty I'd be pleased with any of these 2 lenses and the end results they both produce. Pm me for where to send the sigma bad boy once you hit 1m views 😁

How does the sigma compare when tracking bif?
@@themarksmanABP It works great on my A7IV and even better on my A6700.
@@themoodyphotographer59 hmmmm interesting. Thanks for the reply

What was the testing camera? Sony A1?
Great review, very informative.

Great comparison!
Is lens flare and ghosting a problem with this lens?
Interesting how soft the Sony was in comparison, kinda contradicts what people have found in controlled test.
I guessed that Sigma was B and Sony A. I did prefer the Sigma both in Image quality and in versatility. But then I am a Sigma fan anyway.
I'm gonna choose sigma because sigma
I'm wrong. But I like the Sigma.
It really is a fantastic lens.
Sony A and sigma B, deciding which one to purchase now! Gotta scrounge up some dollars first😂 I think the sigma will be the one!
It's well worth it!
Did you figure out which one to buy? I am in this same boat now!
is it to me or sigma is clearly sharper than sony?
Well i think Sony will be better as it is the same system ...... OH GETTING THAT LENS WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE
Who clicked on this video for the word "sigma"
B is the Sony
That's how good the Sigma is!
B is sony
Why is this video playing my phone by force? I don't like that
❤
Sony is A......Andre gave it away hehehehe
