So...this lens is for people that appreciate small things that feel good in the hand! Really, when you first showed it, I thought it was a 300 f/4 lens. The sharpness and contrast on the squirrel photo was impressive. Amazing how good new lens designs are! Nice review Jared.
And those of us who are aging and know the day when our 600/4 will just be to heavy to wield. I plan on using it on the A7iv so the 15fps limit is moot. I'll keep the 600/4 on the A1 until..........
I will be wanting one for my S5II.... I have the Sigma 150-600 already so it is hard to justify spending that much for a focal length I already have covered.
Honestly, I have been waiting for this for e-mount. You nailed the target audience perfectly. I would love to see Sigma make this for x-mount. Fuji has nothing that would compete with this, and their lack of super-telephoto primes is a major hole in x-mount.
For any Nikon shooters out there, the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 still holds it own against all the lenses mentioned in this video. You can also find them used for under $1,000 these days.
I am a Nikon Wild Life Shooter in Africa and the 200-500 gets killed by the new 180-600 >> Weight , Image Quality, Zoom Throw , Internal Zoom vs Canon Like Trombone Zoom etc etc etc
This 500mm should focus faster and AFC track more accurately due the newer HLA linear motors. The 150-600 uses stepper motors, the newer 60-600 has the newer HLA motors. 150-600 still excellent though!
I had the SONY 200-600mm 5.6-6.3 G Lens which I got tired of and sold last year, it is too big, too heavy and not easy to handhold for longer periods. I got the Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens now and I can highly recommend it !
@@JoshRzepkaMusic agreed! I have a Tamron 150-600 EF that I can adapt to my RF and M mounts, but a native (small) 500 would be awesome. BTW, that 650 on the M5 with a 2x (Tamron) is nuts and surprisingly clear at 1920mm
About freakin' time someone makes affordable super-telephoto primes for the E-mount. I won't hold my breathe for Sony to make "PF" versions of primes since they believe everyone must have $8K+ to drop on lenses. We can't even get them to update firmware so we can have "eye AF" in video for the A1.
Plenty of people use L-mount. All systems started somewhere , Sony initially had quite a rocky start in mirrorless. It's kind of weird that you'd disparage an entire system for no obvious reason 🤔
@@froknowsphotowhy would Panasonic drop out? The S5ii is a hit with photographers and videographers. They are aiming at the content creators as well, who are going nowhere anytime soon. Panasonic is here to stay.
Yes. I love cannon ergonomics, and color but I really really hope they open the rf mount at a minimum to sigma and possibly Tamron and release a pro/ semi pro level body in the 30 ish megapixel range to properly replace the EOS R. In my opinion the r8 was really an EOS RP replacement not a replacement for the EOS R.
I have a Sony 500 F4, which I only ever really shoot at f5 (slight hazing wide open, simply perfect at f5) for field sports (soccer/football/cricket). If this thing is even close to the sharpness of mine, and based on the samples I'd have to admit it looks like it is, then it's a no-brainer - this would be amazing!
Good Review, showing the argumentation pro and con for prime vs. zoom. The new Sigma lens seems to be a great lens. I own the 5.6 400 from Canon and liked it a lot. Compared to the EF 100-400 mark i it was the better lens. I bought a 2nd hand 100-400 mark ii last year and this one is on the same IQ level. But. The flexibility of the 100-400 mm zoom range, the close focus capabilities, the image stabilizer, the shorter built make it a walk-around-lens for my style, which is "100mm is standard focal length". So I would always prefer the zoom but: If you lug around different lenses, e.g. a 35-135 + the 500mm for hiking this might be the better solution.
Nice review Fro..........I'm definitely considering this lens. I do own the 200-600 and use it primarily for photographing birds in flight hand-held with my A1. I'm wondering if you can quantify how much sharper this lens is than the 200-600? I know that's not easy to say for sure but if you could take a shot at it I'd appreciate your thoughts.
I currently have the Sigma C 150-600 and I love that lens. I think these long prime lenses are too specialized for my tastes. Ill always want a tele zoom for my travels...
Yes one needs to buy a golf cart with these primes to position yourself constantly. Imagine being in africa and a lion sneaks up to you. How can one get sharp photos of that. Solution: tele zoom lens 👍
I normally like zooms (Sony fe-200-600/5.6-6.3). in fact I am planning on getting a used on in the next month or so...But...But...That small lightweight Sigma does very much interest me... for a number of venues...(I am American retired in Bangkok)...Trains.. planes...boats on the River...Street people...music shows...my 8th floor apartment down to the street...occasional birds animals etc...Lightweight is king for us older retired folk..LOL
One of the issues with teleconverters is that they magnify the flaws of the lens. Prime lenses have fewer flaws, and if this lens is as sharp as people say, it should be a great fit to use with teleconverters.
Who is it for? Me. I regularly hike 3-7 miles for wildlife shots. Weight is a big deal. The 200-600 gets heavy quickly. If I am shooting birds, about 90% of my zoom shots are at the longest setting everywhere in the world but Galapagos (where animals have no fear of man). I loved the Nikon PF, and this will be a must-have.
Reminiscent of my ancient vivitar 400mm f/6.3 I shot with in the late 70’s ;then to the 400mm canon (tube)f/5.6 … this bad boy sigma 500 is like the tube on massive steroids ! great video.
@@AnonGoogleuser Well, they are almost exactly the same lens so I guess you're mostly right, except the Nikon 500mm f5.6 is an F-mount lens which makes it less useful on modern cameras. Nikon really needs to re-release that lens with an updated mount.
I would, well, I went with the Tamron 150-600mm G2 f/5-6.3 Di VC ABCDEFG and I absolutely love it. I am shooting that adapted to a Canon EOS R8. and 2 EOS M5s. Fantastic lens
Too expensive for what is it. They could at least make it F/4 or unusual F/4.5. Though I'm sure it's much sharper than the Tamron 150-500 and Sony 200-600... I wonder if it's possible to buy the L mount + TC and use a L to E mount adapter to make TC work on Sony bodies. But I'm sure image quality and af will take a hit, but just curious about that
How does the lens compare to the Nikon 600mm f6.3 PF? I'm interested in adapting the Sigma 500mm f5.6 to my Nikon ZF or pairing it with an A7CR, or getting the Nikon 600mm f6.3 PF for my ZF then getting a Z8. The Sigma appears significantly smaller but the Nikon has more reach + the 1.4x.
will this come to Z mount you think? to fight it out with 500PF? or could you see this going to a 600mm Z mount etc instead as that cost reduction will get a lot of people interested.
Wow this lens has some great sharpness. Id say it rivals the Canon 100-500 pretty well, but you know Canon cant open their lens mount up to 3rd party 😑
How does it compare to something like Nikon 500 f/5.6, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 and Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 because I am pretty sure that they’ll launch for Nikon Z mount soon as well.
Damn looks like a 300 f4 or something like this . Sure a 200-600 is very versatile but when i had a tamron 150-600 i only used it at 5-600mm anyway . This one is faster , much smaller and alot sharper so for me this would be a no brainer if i shot Birds or sport etc

Canon is not allowing any third party to make lenses for the RF mount. There was one company permitted awhile ago, but that was for a manual focus lens. There have been some rumors circulating that Sigma will make an announcement at the end of this month concerning the Canon RF mount. We shall see.
Damn, that lens would be sweet if Canon would allow 3rd party RF lenses. Combined with the ART-lenses it might even make me consider a system swap after 30 years...
Isnt the issue that these nonOEM cameras do not "sync" with the stabilization, etc. electronics/software in the camera body? For instance, OM uses these lenses but "tweaks" them to be fully functional with their camera bodies stabilization and such...and adds $1000 to the price...sux
Can someone explain to me why go for this over zoom? Wouldnt it be hard to use in sports since different parts of the field are at vastly different distances, making you crop quite a bit?
