- Comprehensive Review of the Sigma 60-600 Sport for wildlife photography by Pangolin Photo Host, Janine Krayer, on safari in Botswana.
In this video, Janine was testing the Sigma 60-600mm Sport on a Canon 1Dx mkII to give the lens the best possible chance to perform at its highest level. Cameras with less advanced focusing systems might provide you with different focusing speeds as it is a combination of camera and lens performance. However, the image quality should remain unaffected.

What other wildlife lenses would you recommend for the same sort of money? New or second hand.
The Tamron G2 150 -600 was KILLER sharp on my D850 ..Sold it sadly to go Mirrorless
@@Mr09260 Mirrorless remorse?
Hi Peter, it is a big switch to go to mirrorless... but at the end progress will win I believe
It's always great to see your interviews. Are you still DSLR camera or you are think to switch to mirrorless camera?
The Nikon 200-500mm is super sharp and fast (some say its slow but I disagree) , and you can put a 1.4 teleconverter to get extra reach
This is the way reviews of lenses ought to look like! I´m very impressed!
Hello from Texas, USA. Found you today. I think this is going to be a rewarding connection. What I like: Photo analysis of your shoot. Computer image review and narrative on the choices made. Your open mindedness and gentle review. Your honesty and opinion. You are a gem in my book. Now I need to catch up on your past videos.
I enjoyed every second of this review; purely informative and a very practical real life way. Thank you so much. You're conveyance of the heart and soul of the lens' abilities - which is what we really care about in the end - is a breath of fresh air.
Hi, thanks so much for your amazing feedback.
This is a better review than you can get in magazines. Thanks and well done.
Hi Ben, thanks so much. I really appreciate!
Glad you enjoyed it! High praise indeed.
OUTSTANDING review! Thank you for your time and efforts! It's super informative!
Great review! Very well explained by the always professional Janine! Good work!
Hi Dominique, thanks so much!
I just wanna say thank you for the very indepth review. I've watched two or three other videos from "big channels" and was not impressed with how thorough they were with reviewing this lens. Some people just shot at 60 and 600 and compared then called it a day.
I just purchased this lens because I wanted the wider range of zoom for wildlife photography. I can't tell you how many times I've been walking down a path and have a animal out in front of me and it's too close for me to focus or zoom back. I used the 150-600mm Sigma Contemporary for about a year and was ready for something a little more versatile, plus with the added weather/dust protection.
I'm happy to know that the fringing isn't too much to worry about and is easily fixable like I've had to do in the past with, not as nice, cheaper lenses that I've used. Also, I'll have to keep in mind to shoot in F8 when lighting allows. I've actually managed to get some really sharp images at 1/320, sometimes slower on the 150-600mm when zoomed out to 600mm. I will switch through from 1/320 to 1/640 then 1/800. It just depends how steady I can keep the lens. I've had times when it seems like it was absolutely locked on and I can shoot even lower than 1/320 and still end up with a sharp shot. Risky though, no doubt.
For my budget, this will have to work for the time being. I just do this as a hobby and not for a living. I would love to do it for a living, though.
Thanks again.
I always watch your videos and reviews. I am a nature photographer in Ghana and I must say I really appreciate your work and dedication.
Hi Gideon, thank you so much - I really appreciate that - cheers Janine
you are extremely enjoyable to watch as your style is relaxed and very informative. i'll check back often
Excellent review of the lens. Extremely well done--as always :)
Thanks so much Keith, I really appreciate that!
Excellent, honest and comprehensive review Janine
Thanks so much Richard
Thank you very much for your objective review. I am just about to buy this lens. Despite the passage of time, it still has its value. I also believe that this model has no competition in terms of its scope, capabilities and quality of staff, even now. Thank you and best regards.
Just got this lens. Thank you for the rundown of all the features and its capabilities. I'm excited to get going with this lens.
Thanks for your video, I ordered this lens two days ago and haven't received it yet but I'm really excited to escalate to this level of lens. thank you again.
All the reviews and advice from Pangolin is really great, objective and comes with extensive practical experience. The mega zoom lenses offer very good quality and value for money. Sigma and Tamron moved the cheese and now we see Sony, Canon and Nikon with their Mirrorless systems going this direction. These are all purpose lenses and offer great value and flexibility. It is interesting to see that the Brand lenses from Sony and Canon and especially the Canon with a f 7.1 aperture is also substantially more expensive. I have used this lens on two trips as a zoom option to my prime lens. Great results and joy to use.
Hi Jakes, thanks for your inside... traveling is so much easier with these lenses and the price tag says it all!
Great review. I've just been using this lens for 2 weeks and think I'll keep it. Great build quality, sharp and I've adjusted to it's weight.
Hi Ron, so good to see you here. I am glad you are also enjoying the lens... cheers Janine
Thank you so much for this very very in-depth review. It has really helped me to make a purchasing decision. I am very grateful.
I purchased and use the same lens and agree with your take on it. Love your videos. Thanks.
Just got this lens delivered to me today, abd found this review after the fact. Happy that your review didn't make me regret the purchase! ;) Will, of course, see how mine performs with my Nikons. I subscribed as well, looking forward to seeing more videos!
Great review, honest and unbiased , thx
Hey Janine that’s a great review. Totally helped me make my mind up to go out and buy one. Thank you
I really enjoyes listening to you. Great video with excellent information. Recently bought an canon 90D and your video was very illustrative. Thanks. Greetings from Mexico
Hi Carlos, so glad this helped you - cheers Janine
I have not seen your videos before, but this review is superb. I have subscribed. Your photographs are stunning. You are a captivating presenter. The information you provide is broad, to the point, and you illustrate technical details with photos exceptionally well. The analysis you provide is outstanding. Thank you for this review. You have given me a great deal to think about, and in better detail than I had previously. This might just be the next lens for me to consider; I will be moving from the northeast U.S. to France, and this might give me the landscape that I will crave and the ability to reach out and look more closely at the birds and wildlife I will encounter.
Thanks so much for all your compliments - I really appreciate that
Shot with this lens and with the mentoring that you guys did plus this lens I made some of the best images I have ever done. I completely concur with your review Janine and hope to see you guys again when the world is done with thei GD pandemic.
Hi Ronald, glad you are enjoying this lens so much. Really hope to welcome you soon here... cheers Janine
Thank you very much for this thorough and beautifully shot review video. I am impressed by both the clarity and honesty of your remarks, and I am also quite impressed with the resulting photos. They reflect not only on the quality of the lens, but also on your skills as a photographer. I will be renting this lens next week to try it for myself, although my subject matter will differ considerably. I look forward to your future videos and wish you continued success and health (during this pandemic, wishing this for everybody!), and beautiful lighting for whenever you go out shooting!
Hi Thomas, thanks so much for the amazing feedback. How did it go with the lens?
Hi Janine, I was very much impressed with this lens. I was aware of the weight of this lens, while I could handhold this lens, I chose to shoot with a gimbal head on tripod. I was glad I did! The lens certainly matched my expectations for performance. The only minor quibble with the lens was that the zoom ring was a little more stiff than I was used to. Focus speed and accuracy was fantastic. And the image stabilization was very welcomed and I found it to be non- intrusive to my shooting. My own inexperience with shooting with a super telephoto lens resulted in somewhat disappointing results in term of composition. I was using this lens for some landscape photography, and I definitely need more practice with this technique. But then, I’m not sure that this is the lens for that purpose. The zoom range of this lens was what intrigued me initially, but the performance was what won me over. I will be purchasing this lens in the near future, and in anticipation of that I already have purchased a gimbal head ( I rented one with the lens). Thanks again I for the review and the response!
Thank you so much Janine! You are a true rock star in your presentations, very easy to follow but also very in depth and informative. Keep up the good work.
BTW, who makes those awesome swinging gimbal mounts I see on your vehicles? Never laid my eyes on them before.
Anyways, thanks again for another stellar presentation!
Bob
Hi Robert, thanks so much for your awesome feedback. The gimbals are custom designed by our director for our photo boats in combination with a ZA company called Gimpro
Great review.
One aspect missed: you can lock the lens at all major zoom steps 60 70 80 90 100 150 200 etc. Which is rather nice, for you can lock your zoom ratio, as having a fixed 300 or 400 mm lens, handing you a fixed zoom for multiple images or or locking it into it s best sharpness zoom number.
Thank you for the great review of this lens... I purchased one a few weeks ago for my D850, and I am already loving the results that it gives... thanks again...
Hi David, I am so glad it helped you with making a choice and getting accustomed to it. cheers Janine
Thank you, this is a really helpful video. I'm a photographer from Manchester UK, I shoot a mixture of of wildlife, motorsports and aviation and this looks like the perfect lens!
Great Review 👍
I bought this lens 3 years ago to shoot wildlife with the R5. I've been very impressed with the results. Shortly after purchasing, I found your review which confirmed my findings. I run my images through DxO3 noise reduction software and then Lrc with great results. I sometimes shoot at higher ISO setting to get faster shutter speeds and am very satisfied with the results. Thank you for your thoughts and thorough review.
I've had my Sigma 60-600mm Sport for over a year too. Mostly used on my Canon 1DX2 for daylight field sports and wildlife, I did first determine that the lens was back focusing a slight bit, I don't use the Sigma dock for correction-doing this change the lens characteristics when used on other camera bodies. Instead, I micro-focused from the camera's menu and had astonishing sharpness at 600. Discussions on how to do this are on UA-cam. If you are to use a 105mm lens UV protection filter, I highly recommend the Sigma kens protection filter. UV filters tend to diffuse light as their glass is not as pure and can cause fuzziness when seen through 600mm. It's a great lens that will not disappoint.
Hi John, thanks so much. We also have a tutorial on our channel about the micro adjustment.... glad it worked out for you so well. This can happen with any lens!
Great video with great insight and honesty.
Thanks so much - really appreciate it!
Thanks for the great video. One question: do you notice whether you lose any reach/focal length when focusing at the near end of the range?
Great video, just got one. Very impressed. Not as heavy as i thought although it depends on how long you use it hand held I suppose. Thanks for the review
Super Review Janine! Nice to see a lady disproving that larger lenses are only for men! Love your presentation and clear diction!🙏🙏👍👍
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. You explain us very well in order to unterstand how using it.
Thanks so much Jane - cheers Janine
I have the 150 to 600mm. I do miss the ability to shoot up close. I'm going to put it on my wishlist 😊 l really enjoy how sensible you are when it comes to quality. So many people want absolute perfection and that is totally unreasonable for the average person. Thanks Janine.
When you take the plunge on your new lens...bring it to The Chobe!
Hi Dave, great to see you here! Yes, it really depends on how much you shoot and what you do with it at the end... one needs to put perspective on it!
@@PangolinWildlife Deal.
Great review. Well balanced and informative to the right level of detail. I now feel compelled to go study my lenses to see if there is a sweet spot aperture for the best focus and bokeh. I also look forward to Sigma Nikon Z mounts. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi, thanks so much for watching. Lenses with less of a focal range should generally have less of an issue with distortion. And obviously the more you pay for a lens the more R&D went into it and they might have gotten rid of some of the distortion better.... but at the end it always boils down to what you can afford. So one needs to evaluate it in such a context.
Janine - Pangolin Photo Host I admired the superb level of participation and communication by you and your team. It is not easy.
I own Nikon lenses bought new from retailers so probably not an issue. Before I venture out on Safari I will acquire a long lens and test it out. Thanks again!
Thank you for your answer.
Great review! Thank you very much! Yes I’m going to buy the lens as companion to my Nikon D850!
Great review! I’m defenitely going to buy this lens for my safari next August.
Hi, thanks so much for watching. I am glad it was helpful!
Janine - Pangolin Photo Host
Hi, one question; how do do think this lens would function on a crop sensor camera (D7 mkii) with regard to ISO being pushed too hard to get those fast shutter speeds.
Thanks for the review Janine , really comprehensive , I currently shoot with a Sigma 150-500mm zoom on a Canon 7d mk2 & would love to get this lens , will look into it .
Hi Paul, thanks so much - let me know what you think of it when you get it!
Thank you for this review as I am contemplating the purchase of the 60-600S. I have been shooting with the 150-600C, but looking to upgrade.
Grazie mille per la spiegazione completa 😊
Thank you so much for all the info.
Can you please compare that lens with canon 100-400 markii. For sharpness and speed of focus?
Great review Janine considering it for my Z7 for wild Life
Hi Peter, thanks a lot
Hi, great review, I’ve just bought this lens for my 90d and am really struggling to get any sharp images with it but after watching this I’ll be out again to give it another go 😀
Brilliant review.
Thanks Derrick.
Great review with relevant pro's and con's. I use a Tamron 150-600 and sometimes do wish it was a 60-600, but I like the results and the price. If I was making the decision today, I would certainly consider the Sigma 60-600. Thanks!
Hi Gary, thanks so much for watching my video. I believe the Tamron is a fantastic lens and definitely lighter to hand hold.
I decide that I need to buy this lens because of this video. Thanks a lot.
I already bought last week
Hi. How’s this lens with D500 And how good is in low light? Any suggestions
Thanks in advance
Thanks for such an in depth review. I have the Canon 100-400mm ii that I used with my 7D ii and now with the R7, but I find the lens to too short for small birds, so it’s constantly paired with the Canon extender version iii. The 60-600 would give me a great range for most situations, without the need for an extender. Have you tried the 60-600 on the r6 or r7? Thanks
Janine great review and well presented. Since this was done almost 2 years ago are you still using this lens and are you still happy with your results from it? I am heading to Costa Rica this summer and would like a something longer to use.
Great review ! I want to buy one for my Canon 1DX, Thanks ;)
Excellent review. Thank you!
Thanks so much Nick
@@PangolinWildlife FYI, I purchased this lens yesterday based on your review and some others. Can't wait to take it out and do some shooting.
Thanks Janine. I have the Tamron 150-600mm lens and your review could apply to it as well. I like it, for the cost, but it does have a sweet spot.
Hi David, thanks so much. I guess at the end it always boils down to how much one is willing to pay and how often does one shoot... for the average use these are brilliant lenses.
Excellent review. Thanks.
Hi Sam, I am glad it was helpful!
Thanks for watching!
Bloody Brilliant Review!
Thanks so much!
Wonderful, thanks for this very useful. Thanks for keeping your promise 🙂
Hi Sushil, sorry that it took a while but I am really glad it helped!
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722 Better late than never as they say. Appreciate it so much. Enjoy your weekend. Best wishes from Kenya
How does the C version compare to this one from an image quality and focus speed point of viewing? I have the C and am quite happy with it.
I have this lens and have not yet had a chance to use it to it’s full potential, however I have found you are right about shutter speeds needing to be high. Plus I have even managed a tripod shot on a canon 80d with a 1.4 extender to show Saturn’s rings at night, true it was quite blurry, but staggering all the same.
HI Mark, you will have a lot of fun with this lens. It is not a low light performer as you need the fast shutter speeds but otherwise it is awesome and so versatile!
When you magnify 600mm with a 1.4 Extender and have a crop factor of 1.6x of the 80D (1,344mm) you are also magnifying vibration and it's almost impossible to keep it perfectly still. Even a breeze can cause enough vibration of your camera on a tripod and with a night sky slower shutter speed, you are losing sharpness because of movement. You also have to push up your ISO getting more noise. Extenders work best on Fast Prime Telephoto lenses. As most Zoom lenses are in the affordable range, their imperfections are magnified by extenders. I hardly use my extenders, they're not worth using even with my Canon EF Zooms. But they can be fun to use if you're okay with your results.
Thank you for uploading!
I love my new sigma 150-500
No problem Jan.
Hi Jan, do you have the 150-600mm sport or contemporary!
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722 the sigma 150-500 5-6.3 apo hsm.
@@janeisenbeton9030 ..... amazing... we used to have these guys on our boat as well!
I have been using the Tamron 150-600 gen1 for about three years now. Its lighter than the Sigma, I can see very little difference between it and the gen2 tamron. However like the Sigma my Tamrons sweet spot tends to be from f8 to f11. I have built two custom flash brackets to use with the lense with large flash heads and a better beamer flash extender on one and a magpul extender on the other. I normally carry a second camera with the Tamron 16-300 at the ready to cover landscape and short range telephoto shots. Excellent video and coverage of the lenses features and value.
Thank you for the Tamron info Guy. Much appreciated.
Hi Guy, thanks so much for watching and letting us in on your secrets. Tamron and Sigma have always been bumping heads and I think Sigma is trying to break away with their Sport series... they really are quite excellent
For the first time I hear from a professional wildlife photographer that the Sigma lens is amazing for its quality. In terms of the price, I know that. Thnx You.
Hi Wojslaw, thanks so much for watching my review. Lenses with less of a focal range should generally have less of an issue with distortion of all kind. And obviously the more you pay for a lens the more R&D went into it and they might have gotten rid of some of the distortion better.... but at the end it always boils down to what you can afford and how often do you shoot. So one needs to evaluate it in such a context. I still find my Canon 100-400mm mkii sharper but I am often often often lacking focal length even with the 1.4 x converter on (which pushes me straight to an F8 by the way) - at the end if you want quality you must go and buy a 400mm, 500mm, or 600mm prime.... but is that always realistic or the most practical given your personal situation?
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722
391/5000
I often use the canon 500mm f4. But the second is always the sigma s 150-600mm. If I had to choose now, the new Canon 600mm f4 a Sigme 60-600mm. Then I would choose Sigme. I would invest the rest of the money in a new camera (1dxm3). I print 1.5mx1m from Sigma and the same for 500mm Canon. The difference is really small. Only the white color and the size of the lens always make you think. Greetings
Thank you very much for thst detailed review. I'm using the Sigma 150-600 contamporary for birding and I'm not happy with this lens. So I will give the 60-600 mm lens a try.
I was wondering if you have calibrated the lens for back/forward focus using the Sigma dock and software? Makes all the difference in on point sharpness. Loved the video and did you notice the animal that came down to waters edge while you discussing the lens in the boat? :-)
Great review. What would be a reason to go with full frame instead of APSC for wildlife? I’m thinking of selling Sony A6600 and Sony 70-350 to get this lens for Sony A7IV. I just got this full frame camera and love how it handles, but have no telephoto lens yet.
Absolutely brilliant review. I own the same lens since Dec 2018 and I 100% agree with your views. Thank you. Three clarifications though, 1) have you calibrated this using the Sigma Dock and 2) when you mount it on a monopod or a tripod do you turn the OS off.....I on many occasions miss it and not sure if it impacts the focusing speed 3) on which body do you use the lens. Thanks again and Kind Regards Murali
Hi Janine, thanks for the review. May I assume this was shot with a DSLR, the 1DX II or so? Not 100% fine adjusted lenses might cause sharpness problems on DSLRs, also on expensive primes stopping down from f/4 to 4.5, 5.0 or f/5.6 achieves improvments. - I hope I can once try the L-Mount version on my SL2-S. If the SL3 and a SL3-S come with the same AF updates as the Leica Q3, what I expect, that would be my system to go. FYC, I do also a lot of events and people/street with the SL2-S and ISO 12500 or even 25000 is no problem with the -S version of the SL2, just the phase detect AF is missing yet for sports and action. But in comparison to the Canon raw files - which have no details in the shadows. Even on my R3 and R6II it's pretty bad. The Leica raw dng are a dream for post production in any kind of raw editors.
I too bought this very lens as soon as it was released here in the UK. I find it fast focusing, fairly sharp & a good alternative to the expensive Canon Prime Lenses. It is quite tiresome on the arms after a full day out in the field hand holding it, but overall Iove mine.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the insights and reviews. I really enjoy your videos. Have you ever tried the Sigma 120-300mm 2.8? I would be keen on seeing a review of that beauty. Keep up the good work!
Hi Adrian, so sorry no - I haven't been able to lay my hands on it
Cool...Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Ok thx for answering !!
Thanks for the great insight, it is very much appreciated. On a separate note, I was admiring your tripod/monopod-what is the brand and series? Thanks
Hi Pierre, thanks so much - it is custom designed by Pangolin with a ZA company called Gimpro!
Great review. Thank you. I had some issues with the compatibility and the lens mount being loose on the body of the Canon 7Dm2 when I tried the the Tamron 150-600mm lens. Did you have issues with the 60-600 lens mount loose to the body or any compatibility issues?
Not at all... this should not happen at all! Maybe check the little screws at your mounting ring - sometimes they become loose!
Thanks for the tips. I am gonna get this lens. I gotta Canon T7i Rebel camera. I am a Wildlife Photographer or so I think I am. Thanks so much for all the good tips. Happy Trails. Kiya Young. From USA.
Have fun with it Kathy - cheers Janine
I like your videos sooo much
Thanks a lot!
Excellent review! You explain the pros and cons very well. I use a Canon 90D and would like your opinion on the 60-600 with that camera. Thank you again for the video
Hi Jim, I think it would be a rock star combination.... we use the 150-600mm contemporary with the 80D for our guest so the upgrade will work fantastic
At 4:38, you discuss the tightness of the lens. I have found that if I use a pipe clamp with a worm screw, punch a small hole in the band for a small lever and squeeze the clamp on the focus ring, it's much easier to rotate the focus ring.
Hi Chris, thanks for that advise ... I see you are quite crafty!
You sold the lens to me. Will get it this week !
Great review, as always. Pangolin is my number one stop for wildlife photography tips and information.
How would this lens perform on the D850?
Thank you very much for the awesome review! Very detailed as I needed.
I have a Nikon D500 and what do you recommend me for Bird, Wild life, sometimes nocturn shots:
1. The Nikkor 200-500mm Lens?
2. This Sigma 60-600mm Lens?
That is a tough decision to make... I do like shooting with native lenses but the Sigma does give you so much more flexibility!!!
Hi Jenine.
Thanks for your good video. I have a camera nikon d850 and i would like to have your advice about Sigma lens for wildlife photography. Whats better Sigma 150-600 Sport or Contemporary? Or you advice another lens?
Thanks
Best regards
Last year I caught your idea of back button focus. I don't remember your mentioning that in that mode, at least on my Nikon D5100, if the screen is set to display the last shot, the back button is turned off until I push the shutter btn halfway to bring the screen back to a settings display.
Hi Chris, no you are right - I didn't mention it. But I guess the focus is only active when you are in shooting mode... not display mode!
Loved this. Such good explanations and talking through the images. Have EOS R. Was going 150.600 but think the 60.600 may fit better... thanks
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent review Janine, I like the way you point out the good and poor features of the lens. I have been using the Sigma 100-400mm lens for Nikon for about 6 months. It also has excellent image quality and very fast focus but like the 60-600 you need to shoot if fast to get the best out of it. It is very light and great if you want to go on a long hike. Thanks for all the hard work you and your crew have been doing during this very trying time.
Hi Keith, we also have the Sigma 100-400mm for our guest in the Delta. If it is correctly calibrated to your body it performs amazing for such a small lens. I was really blown away!
Do you like the 100-400 better than this lens?
@@wcsdiaries I have never used the 60-600 to be able to compare but when I want to go on a hike the 100-400 is so light and easy to carry that I leave my Nikon 500mm f4 at home. The image quality and focus speed with the 100-400 is excellent.
@@keithmacdonald4805 Does the 100-400 get longer as you zoom in (aka not internal zoom)? I am wondering if the 100-400 be used on a gimbal. I fear i may not be able to use it bc the change in balance from zooming in will throw off the balance of the gimball. I shoot videos which is why I am asking.
@@wcsdiaries Yes it does extend but is light enough that it doesn't change the balance much. It does not come with at tripod collar and Sigma does not make one that fits the lens. There is a third party collar available on Amazon and it is very affordable and it works very well. I don't use it on a tripod but I bought the tripod collar because I don't like hanging my camera and lens off the camera strap mounts on the camera. I think it puts too much stress on the lens mount on the camera. I use the lens collar to attach the camera carrying strap.
Thank you for sharing
Hi Michelle, great to see you here again. I am glad you liked it!
I’m looking for an ideal lens for wildlife photography and just checking what’s available. I used the 70-200, 2.8 with a 2x Extender and as well I use 800mm RF lens. Comparing of all informations I’m hanging on that lens now. Thank you for you video it helps to do a final decision.
Hi, I am super glad this was of assistance - cheers Janine
I recently bought the Sigma 150 to 600 contemporary lens and it is excellent. I did wonder if the 60 to 600 was any good or as good but I decided at twice the price I could not justify it. I have other lenses for portraits etc... anyway. The virus is still rampant and increasing in the UK so all thoughts regarding holidays and photo safaris are back on hold until well into 2021. Shame as a safari in Botswana with you was climbing up my list. Please keep your excellent videos coming though, cheers up my dull and dreary days, thanks.
Glad you are enjoying the vids. The 150-600 is a great lens. We offer them to all our clients who are travelling without their own. See you in 2021!
Great truthful review Janine. I did not see if you are now shooting
mirrorless with an R3 or 5 or not - but what super-telephoto are you currently shooting? RF 100-500? 60-600? Thank-you!
Thank you Janine ❤️
Thanks a lot
Great review. I use my old Sigma 150-500 mm on my 6D. Like you found, it gives better results at f8. Will upgrade someday but for me it works very well and has great portability. Appreciate your content.
Hi Graham, that is awesome. I used the 150-500mm for quite a while. I believe the biggest difference is the focusing speed which has improved so drastically!
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722 yes it is a bit slow but is fine for perching birds and similar uses. More speed would be good though which more modern lenses and cameras have. Been doing this 10 years now so maybe time soon for an upgrade :). Great channel you have, fabulous content. Take care, Lachlan.
have you got any examples of how good the os is vs canons is or nikons vr or even sonys.? I have owned the sigma and tamrons 150-600 I was left very under impressed with the stablisation . I own canon 300 f2.8 II and 100-500 and find IS very good. I am trying to find exmples hand held on a tripod is not helpful.
Bonjour, merci pour cette belle vidéo j’ai une question j’ai un nikon z6 ii et je fait beaucoup de vidéo, pensez vous que cet objectif 60-600mm peut convenir à de la vidéo? car je fais principalement de la vidéo (aero, aviation)
merci d’avance pour votre réponse
How about the focus speed of this len 60-600mm for soccer and any sport games
Have you ever tested out the sigma 500mm f4 sport and ever compared the os vs IS hand held ?
Hello Janine. thanks for this great review. For a long time I was concerned with which zoom lens is right for me. I bought the Sigma 60-600 this week for my Canon 90D. the first pictures blew me away. If everything works out, I'm going to my first wildlive expedition to Scandinavia in May 2021, which I'm really looking forward to.
Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome trip and come to Botswana soon!
@@PangolinWildlife Hallo. Thanks for your answer. a vacation in Botswana would be a real dream. I am paraplegic and sit in a wheelchair. I do not think that your hotels and inns as well as the boats are prepared to cope with a wheelchair.
hello, very nice video i have this lens and i would like to buy a canon r5. Do you have any experience using the set?
