Nicely put together video Christian.. Since you have been out capturing mountain areas what are your thoughts on a lens ranging between 100 to 400mm? Instead of 70 to 200.
Thanks for the comment! When using the lens specifically in the mountains the 100-400 range might be better, since you can get closer on peaks further away and you dont really need the F/2.8 aperture so you can save some weight as well.
Christian, You have made a fantastic presentation of this Sigma telezoom lens, which is very helpful for me to know more about the lenses, I also would like to know more about cameras, lenses and the related shooting skills. In this case, I’ve got two questions about the lens, and the tripod (a bit off today’s topic, please excuse me.) The first is that this Sigma 70-200 F/2.8 DG DN OS is compatible with Sony, I would like to know whether it is compatible with other brands of cameras. The second is about the tripod K+F Concept A 254 C4 1.4KG, on the website of the company, it tells that this tripod is compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony DSLR cameras, I would like to know whether it is also compatible with other brands of cameras. I am thankful to you for your concern. My gratitude to you.
The lens it's build for a specific mount, so you have to buy the lens for your camera brand mount. This one it's for Sony e-mount... but Sony also have a-mount. Canon for example has the EF-mount... and so on. As for the tripod, normally, for most of the cameras the tripod mount it's universal. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the comment and sorry for my late response, I rarely find the time to check the comments currently :( As @diablopocket pointed out correctly, this lens is also compatible with other brands, it comes with different mounts (so you need to check the lens mount before buying)! As for the Tripod: You can use any camera brand on it as long as you can screw the tripod head plate under your camera! :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography Christian, Thank you so much for your very informative and helpful comments! You let me know more about cameras and lens, which is the very inspiring aspect to me. I am always grateful to you. I am going to try to make a reply on all your comments in time, or as soon as I can. Every time I receive your response, it is my happiest moment. Sincerely Nancy
Ansel Adams said the following “there’s nothing worse than a clear, sharp image of a fuzzy concept. [Laughter] You get a terrible concept, it might be physically sharp, but it’s just empty or in bad taste.”
The focal range sounds awesome, but tbh I dont have any personal experience with that lens. It doesn't have the big aperture the sigma lens has, this could be a problem for things like wild life or portraits, but for landscapes only it probably will work great!
I saw a comparison with the Tamron 70-180 G2. And I like Tamron better in terms of bokeh and depth of the picture, it gives depth and plasticity to the photos. The bokeh of Sigma is too crystalline like taken with an iPhone.
Great review. Most reviews don't have that many samples of photo and video footage.
Very happy you like it, thanks a lot!
I've completed my zoom Sigma collection, 14-24mm , 24- 70mm, and today I added 70-200mm. I need to learn to use 70-200mm. :))
Congrats, that sounds like a solid setup! You will enjoy the 70-200, its a great range for landscapes!

Do you think this lens would work well with a Sony A6400? I'm pretty new to photography and would love to use the 70-200 along with my A4600
Hey bro, can you test any 100-400mm some time?
Hey, if I get the chance to test one I will for sure make a video! :-) Lens testing opportunities are still rare for me though

Is this,Sigma better than the Sony G ? Have you compared this ?
I havent had the chance to compare these two lenses unfortunately!
Probably should compare the price to Sony’s 70-200 GM II, not GM I.
What’s your opinion about the tamron 50-400mm lens?
The focal range sounds awesome, but tbh I dont have any personal experience with that lens. It doesn't have the big aperture the sigma lens has, this could be a problem for things like wild life or portraits, but for landscapes only it probably will work great!
@@ThePhlogPhotography it will be great if you can get a copy for testing 😊
I am so tempted at selling a few lenses just for this lens. I really like the fact its still black. I hate Sony and Canon's white lenses.
I always thought those white big lenses look super cool haha :D
@@ThePhlogPhotography maybe but they scream "Mug me" LOL

If someone cannot handle 1.3kg of weight the problem is not the lens
1.3kg is a lot of extra weight if you go on hikes in the mountains
