Wildlife Photography Adventure w/ NEW Sigma 60-600mm Sport

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Sigma sent me over the brand new Sigma 60-600mm before official release to test it out and see what I could capture with it. As the day went on, my encounters got better and better… until finally… I got an opportunity with a Belted Kingfisher I don’t often get…

Just picked up this lens. I'm a professional portrait photographer and videographer and I really just want to be out in nature. Thank you for being so passionate about your craft and sharing your love for nature with all of us here.
Awesome! Excited for you to join the passion ☺️🙌🏻
Congrats on the Kingfisher shot; one of Mother Nature's best 'catch me if you can' birds for photography :) Thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures!
Yep that’s a good way to put it! It’s an elusive bird that’s for sure
I cannot believe that stabilization! V cool.
That slow shutter goldeneye is really nice!
Thank you! That was my favorite shot too ☺️
I hope to some day in the near future to get the opportunity to have and see just how exciting this new 60 to 600 mm is ! Still awaiting the Canon mount version of this lens !
I hope you do as well! :) unfortunately though I don't think they will be making a Canon version anytime soon with Canon's new regulations on third party lenses
I saw a Belted kingfisher here in Arizona a few weeks ago, didn't even know we had Kingfishers here in Arizona! Now that I know where they are hopefully I'll get a decent picture of one.
That’s awesome! They are such an exciting bird. Hope you get some good ones! ☺️
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.
This is probably the one I'd recommend the highest below! I can fit exactly what you said into it and it's really well made. Lots of organizational compartments as well and small attention to detail features I really like for traveling.

@@JeremyNeipp Thank you so much. I will take a look.
Great video Jeremy. I think the new Sigma lens is a good choice for many of us, even though with some cons, like the weight and the short foot that in some cases can be a little tricky to balance the lens in a tripod.
Thanks Giuseppe!! Yea it’s pretty solid and I was pleasantly surprised! ☺️
I really enjoy the footage. Big LIKE!!!
Thanks so much!! ☺️
This lens seems being a great one! Awesome video, awesome images! Really! Thanks for sharing ;-)
Glad it was helpful! :)
How is the AF ? Is it fast ? Is it accurate ?
Thanks for the video! It's like I've been out in nature instead of you. I can't wait to become the owner of this bundle - Panasonic + Sigma.
Glad you got that experience! ☺️ I hope you are able to get it!
Nice illustration of use cases. If I shot L mount, I would definitely buy. I never have luck with kingfishers either 😭.
Thank you! Glad you found it valuable. And haha yea they are a tough one!
I could hear the kingfisher going off the whole time while you were reviewing 😂
Haha that’s how you know you’re familiar with that sound 😂
Thanks for sharing another awesome video like always, keep up with the awesome content 🐦👍🤗
Thanks Miguel!! Glad you enjoyed ☺️🙌🏻
1:21 imagine a power zoom on this transition? Lens would weigh and cost a ton though.
Would be crazy! The only lens that exists like that which I know of is the Canon 50-1000mm and comes in at $75k… it’s no joke 😂
Hi Jeremy! Thanks for your in-field review. I've been looking forward to this lens for Z-Mount but Sigma failed to deliver it! I have a 150-600 C Sigma lens which is aging quite fast. It seems that it focuses slower and slower every month. So I was pretty excited about the release. There were rumors that Sigma would release it for the Z-Mount. Maybe later this year?
By the way, what can you tell about the focusing speed of this new glass? Is it really fast enough for wildlife photographers?
Yea it’s a bummer no Z mount yet, but maybe it’s coming! In terms of the focusing speed it’s lighting fast and I you’ll have no problems there if native to the mount type, so just a matter of seeing if they make it Z mount or not
@@JeremyNeipp That's great news to me about focusing speed. Thanks a lot for the reply. I hope Sigma will finally release it for Z mount, hopefully this spring. Right now I use my old Sigma with FTZ converter which worked pretty stable at first but, as I said, it is getting slower and slower. I think due to tear and wear. I'm missing so many great shots. Another issue is the noise and stabilization for video. Now I never use stabilization while filming as it's too shakey and I can't get rid of the noise of the focus mechanism even if I use external mic. Is this lens quiet enough? What do you think about stabilization? Thanks again!
Great review of the lens! But, what I was thinking trough the video was: Is it too heavy for using it handheld a day? even it has great IBIS, it looks like when you are full zoomed out its very shaky, maybe you can fix that in post. But would you prefer to have it on a tripod or monopod for video? Maybe its better for taking photos handheld rather then video? Would love to hear your thoughts about that! // Jimmie
Some great questions! I would argue that it depends on your use… for example as you saw in the video I was in a lot of uncomfortable positions holding the lens without proper arm support, so it was more shaky then it should be. If I was in proper arm positioning then the 6 stop stabilization at 600mm would have shown more. So I’d argue it’s not too heavy, but to each person it could be different. Ultimately, image stabilization truly helps with micro jitters more than wider sweeping shakes which this lens handled exceptionally in my opinion. I noticed an improvement from my Sigma 150-600mm Sport with 4 stops on it for sure
@@JeremyNeipp Yeah, thats make sense what you say! I didn't have that in my calculations 😅
I really want this over the Sony 200-600 but the Sigma sucks in air every time it shows out which will get dust inside, especially when dusty in summer out west. If I could find a way to filter the air going inside I would buy the Sigma.
If it makes you feel any better I’ve used push pull super telephoto lenses often for 7 years now in wildlife photography and I’ve never had an issue with the dust in lens ☺️
@@JeremyNeipp Good to know!
Great stuff man. I am sure your belted kingfishers are what we call giant kingfishers in Africa?? unless they are just very similar...
Thanks so much dude! I think they are actually slightly different, from what I know Belted Kingfishers are North America exclusive
Not sure if you've already covered this, but have you used the Sigma 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters with this lens and/or the Sigma 150-600mm lens?
I have used both of those, I’m not a huge fan of either teleconverter however. The 2.0 really gave detail loss for me, the 1.4 wasn’t horrible but also wasn’t any better than just cropping on my 50MP sensor
Is this test using the S5 ii?
Unfortunately no! I’ll be testing it out next month.
@@JeremyNeipp I look forward to it. In the meantime how responsive and crop worthy do you find the original s5? Stabilisation any good?
The F mount version of that lens never caught on...A friend of mine has one and it was awesome...Most people i talked to have never heard if it...kind of surprising because for us wildlife and spontaneous landscape guys it will replace a bag full of glass
Yea I was surprised as well! I think it's a great option and I hope it catches on more with this mirrorless version.
@@JeremyNeipp me too
PLEASE READ- SAVE SOME BUCKS!!!: Several commenters have stated the price of 105mm filters being prohibitive. Simple solution is buy (or may already own) a 95mm CPL, ND...whichever! Then purchase an inexpensive 105mm-95mm step-down ring, screw your 95mm filter onto it and screw that combo onto the front of your 60-600 OR 150-600mm Sport and there you have it! No vignetting whatsoever at any focal length/aperture setting. I even have the Sigma 105mm Protector filter on the front of this lens, then the 95mm combo and still NO VIGNETTING! I have the Canon EF mount version of this adapted to my GH6. Great lens...mostly used for video of wildlife, landscape and the moon.
How about your Pinky ?
Still growing up with the Sigma variable tube.
Just for Hiking.
what's the f-stop of this lens, seems poor.
Standard 4.5-6.3 for the range. So yes of course it’s not a prime, but no worse than any other super telephoto zoom
