9 years later and you are still maintaining your hugh quality content as well as same level of humor and information in your videos... takes a lot of dedication and time to do it. Thanks!
"Differences are minute" between Tamron 150-600 and Canon 400mm f5.6l, yet Northup also says the Canon 400mm f5/6L is "far sharper". Minute difference in sharpness and a significant difference in sharpness at the same time. That's awesome.
Tony and Chelsea, thank you for another great video. I really like that you incorporate bench testing, real world performance and the subjective evaluations of diverse photographers in your reviews. The conversation at the end is so helpful. Yes, optical performance is important and, unless a lens is able to make good images, it won't be in your pack. But as you point out, light, composition, technique, familiarity with your gear, portability, knowing your subject and how to get close...these are factors that can have as much - If not more - impact on the final results.
Bill Ferris Thanks, Bill!
I've watched almost all your videos and the feel of this video is by far my favorite one yet
The best unbiased review. The attention to detail and specifications shows a lot of hard work, simply brilliant. More than the lens review it self the review has a adventurous theme which is fantastic. probably my fav subscription on youtube
Thanks for the video,Just picked up a Tamron 150-600 and your video gave me some good tips,keep it up!
Amazing video guys! Tony, I love the scientific test you did with these lenses. Great job!
Great video Tony and Chelsea as always. I'm still glad I use my Ef 400mm F/5.6, thirteen years old and it is still a sharp, lightweight and quality super telephoto lens.
Again you provide these little hidden tips in your videos that are so helpful, and something I would have never thought about.. "when your battery gets cold switch it out, place it in your pocket where it is warm and it will come back to life", great tip, really enjoy your videos!
I don't often comment on youtube videos, but I have to say, your video review was one of the most helpful and detailed I've ever seen!. I've been weighing up three of these lenses for months now as I'm still wanting to buy one of them. While I still haven't made my mind up, your video has definitely helped to calm my worries about sharpness, stability and autofocusing between lenses. Thank you for being so thorough! :)
Thanks again Tony and Chelsea, your tutorials are spot on and quite honest...Also, i have learned so much from Stunning Digital Photography, I purchased others for gifts. I love my 400 prime best and also getting some amazing shots with my Tamron 150-600. The price and weight is 100% correct..and I am a big guy but I love being able to hand hold during hikes.
Thanks for the comparisons and tips!! I like your office, Tony! Seems, that you can "extend" it right into the garden, when it´s warmer outside!
I have the Tamron and had the chance to compare side-by-side with a friend's Sigma-C and another friend's Sigma-S using the same camera body, target, settings etc. I am mainly concerned with IQ at 600mm for bird photography. I found all three lenses to be very close in IQ. At 600mm in the centre of the frame, I found my Tamron to be very marginally sharper than either Sigma, especially stopped down to f8. I also compared with my Canon 400mm f5.6 prime cropped (to give same fov as 600mm) and found the Tamron at 600mm gave a tiny bit more detail. I am therefore happy to keep the Tamron until the next generation of Tamron/Sigma zooms come out (or else when I win the lottery and can afford a Canon 600mm f4 Mk2!!!). Thanks for your great videos, by the way! Cheers, Nick, UK
Awesome review Tony!! The way you go about reviews is great, you seem completely unbiased and just soo relaxed like your not trying to push anyone any particular way. Look forward to all your media releases, good stuff man take it easy
yes, the Sigma 150-600mm SPORT is heavy, but too bad you guys didn't have a Contemporary version to compare it with... I ended up going with it because 1) the Sport version is too expensive and too heavy, 2) I like the idea of having the Sigma Dock so I can make adjustments (vs the Tamron)... 3) using the Sigma MC-11 on my a6000 and a7RII gives me native features
Can you do photo comparison between the sigma sports and contemporary 150 to 600mm lens on the same camera body..
Tamron and sigma contemporary 150 to 600mm lens on wildlife and birds, which is a better bet?
Thank you.
As a Nikon shooter, I had the Tamron, but just purchased the Sigma. Image quality can be subjective, and the two lens are very close, but the deciding factor is that the Tamron is not weather sealed at all. After 10 months, the Tamron has sucked in am alarming amount of dust. This then finds it's way into my D810. I noticed significant sensor dust on my images after a short day out with the Tamron. Pity, I would have paid a bit extra for the weather sealing. What good is a wildlife lens if it won't do well in damp or dusty environments?
Thank You for this, I was looking at both the Tamron and Sigma, still deciding but I now have more info when I'm ready to get one.
Want to see a comparison between Sigma Contemporary as well as Tamron G2 in 150-600mm category.
Hi Tony & Chelsea, Awesome vid! Thx for the tips on how to shoot wildlife as well.
You guys are the best! I loved the table talk, you make us all feel like family!
Very well done guys - great work. Thanks for making this and for sharing - and good information !
Wow ! great video and great tips! I just bought the Tamron 150-600 and going to pick it up today ! Merci beaucoup !
lmao i love this video Tony and Chelsea!! i just found your channel i plan on watching EVERYTHING!! also which book is the one i need to get for photography education?
Thanks for the great compare video. in the market for a new lens. leaning towards the 100-400
It was indeed a fantastic video. I also read ur reviews on your site while comparing canon with sig and tami. At last i bought the canon 400mm f5.6 and am relieved the the image is so darn sharp that one can crop it to an equivalent of 600mm fc and get no drop in sharpness. Thanks once again.
Awesome review Tony, Chelsea and Justin! I am a newbie wanting to get into wildlife photography. I have a Canon 60D and have made my mind up to go with the Canon 400 5.6 thanks for all your help.
Jeff Holliman Glad to hear it! That's still our favorite (other than the 500 f4). Enjoy!
Have you ever taken two identical lenses from the same manufacturer and tested them against each other? Is it possible the difference between the Sigma and Tamron are within this same margin of error. I have sent a lens back that was a little fuzzy and received the same lens replacement and it is very sharp. I am not criticizing your test, I think you guys do a stellar job and I have 2 of your books. Just curious about your thoughts on this.
Thanks for uploading the test photos. Loved the tests!!!!!
Great vid Tony, Chelsea, and Justin! I've been counting down the days for this review. The new transitions in the video are quite enjoyable.
What are the chances that you can compare the sigma or Tamron at 600mm on your D810/D610 and compare it to the 400 prime and 100-400 II on the 7D mk ii?
Also, off topic, in your other videos you've mentioned being able to see stars and galaxies on the Sony a7s with the mitokon f0.95 prime. Would love to see a video of that! :)
Keep up the great work! I have all 3 ebooks and just keep on learning from you guys :)
Parabéns!! pela seriedade com que fizeram estes comparativos. Sucesso!!
You always make Great reviews thank you , I have the sigma sport which is such a solid built big lense but I like that tbh , and the mark i canon version 100-400mm which I like , is it really worth me upgrading the canon ?
Seen a couple of your vids now, I appreciate the straight forward approach. I'm sitting with the dilemma right now as to which of these three lens is going to get my money. I'm leaning towards the Canon 100-400. Love your bird shots, I have hawks in my neighbourhood here in Mexico that I'm shooting and really need to get at it. My 10 year old Canon 75-300 died a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the tips!
Yeah... a lot of people feel that way about Connecticut... Great review... I just spent two days shooting motorcycle races with the same Canon 100-400MM on a rental 5D MKIV. What a learning experience. I couldn't find much on the web about actually shooting motorcycle or auto races. That would be a great topic for you folks to cover sometime!
"400 Prime needs an extension tube to fill the frame with smaller birds" - important point to consider - I am so glad I almost stayed with the 400 Prime but ended up with the 100-400 II. I have taken shots of small birds from so close, I realize now I could not do this with the Prime.
I drive around in the car too, here in WI. I have gotten some great wildlife shots (Eagles, Hawks, Coyote and various other birds). I only use a Canon F/4 300mm without a TC (just can't get sharp shots with my 70D, the 300mm and a 1.4x)
Since Hawks are so skittish (much more so than Eagles), I tend to shoot out the window quite a bit.
One tip for shooting from the car, keep your heat as low as you can stand it. When you open your window, you will get turbulent air currents, which can muck up your sharpness. Also, get the end of your lens as far as you can, out the window, to counter this effect.
Cheers
James
Jaymz007 That's smart about the heat! We've definitely had that problem.
I love you guys cause your videos are so helpful, but they're entertaining too.
super production quality. I like the gear-oriented videos too. Thx guys....and Chelsea.
I love where your videos are going. This is the best yet.
John Campbell Thanks, John!
Tony Northrup
Me, too! Keep it up! (And more 4K, too!)
Thanks for posting this, really practical and helpful.
Dear Tony, thanks for the review would you be able to add Sigma 150 -600mm contemporary lens and comparison with tamron 150 - 600 mm
Holy production value Northrup team! Great comparison!
Hi Tony,
Nice Video!
This is my "real world experience" with both lenses for bird photography...
I had the 400 5.6 for about 8 yrs and it was a great lens, but I just sold it and got the new 100-400 ii. Originally I bought the 400 prime because of sharpness and fear of dust entering lens on the 100-400. I agree that the 400 prime is sharper, and it has blazing fast focus compared to the old 100-400. The dust in lens barrel issue in my opinion is an exaggerated urban legend... I know many people that have this lens and never had any issues with dust. With the release of the new 100-400 I was intrigued because the sharpness according to many reviews surpassed the 400 prime, auto focus is vastly improved, and no more push pull/dust vacuum issue.
I bought my lens a long time ago and it has actually gone up in price, so I sold my 400 prime at a very good price and bit the bullet with the new 100-400 ii. I have to say that Im impressed (believe me if I wasn't I would have returned it). As an exclusive wildlife photographer I have to say that the lens is exactly what I needed (other than a 500 F4 ;) I used the 400 for birds exclusively basically (in closed canopy forest environments mainly) and would switch to a macro for other wildlife (lizards, butterflies,etc.), and I can't count how many times I had birds and other wildlife too close for me to take pictures! Its the most frustrating thing, and believe me its not as simple as taking a few steps back or adding an extension tube that makes autofocus useless. I was so frustrated that I almost bought the old 100-400. This problem has disappeared since I got the new 100-400, its great for butterflies, lizards and other small wildlife. It is also weather sealed, which is nice for the type of photography I do in the field. The IS is just amazing, the truth is, if you have a APS-C sensor you want to keep ISO as low as you can, and with this lens Ive easily been able to take sharp handheld pictures at 1/250, something very hard to do with the 400 5.6 which should really live on a tripod if you take pictures slower than 1/640 on crop camera, anything below is risking losing the shot. Also, while the 100-400 ii is heavier, it is shorter, which makes it fit in many more compact camera bags, if you want to travel light.
In my opinion, I agree with Tony, the lens that gives you the biggest bang for buck is the prime, but if you have the $ to buy the 100-400 ii, you won't feel sorry, it is a much more dynamic and fun lens to use. It is very sharp and the new IS is great! If you shoot pictures of large, wading birds the 400 5.6 is good enough, but if you would like to take pictures of warbler like birds you can't beat the 100-400 ii, you will have more keepers for sure!
You can check out a few pictures with the new 100-400 here, sadly I don't have too many since its brand new and I am now in the dead of winter in upstate NY :( www.flickr.com/photos/puertoricanwildlifephotography/
P.S.
Sorry for the long post ;)
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you could do some tests with the sony a6000 and a couple of these lenses attached to a mount and see how they perform. Just curious to know if one the lenses perform well on it and if it's worth to invest in a mount/lens for shooting wildlife.
Thank you for this excellent review on all these lenses, Tony and Chelsea. Have you guys done a review yet on the Sigma Contemporary 150-600mm for Canon? It has similar specs as the Sigma Sport 150-600mm, but nearly $1k cheaper and not as heavy. I'd like to see a review comparing both Sigma lenses, if possible. Thanks.
The quality of this channel has improved drastically, not that it was not good before by any means! Keep it up guys! And I already own the SDP book btw and love it...yeah baby, yeaaaah :D
Liked the battery tip had the same problem shooting in the cold will try this suggestion.
hey tony and chelsea great vid as usual always good advice keep up the good work. the longest lens i own is a 75-300 non L but i really like the 400mm f/4 if i get the money saved i will probably get that guy. i heard the 100-400 is not that much behind but i figured if i want sub-400 mm i will just use my 70-200 f/2.8
Your video's n reviews are amazing ..
Tony I am having 5D MIII ..
Like to buy one wild life lense which one would you suggest .. Sigma 150-600 , canon 100-400 ..
Loved the humor interjected throughout! Great Vid!
Phenomenal editing and content. Would love a review of the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 OS HSM Sport
Thank for posting this video! I am planning on buying the tamron, but I was worried about sharpness. Thanjs to this video I am positive I do want the tamron.
Hey guys,
Quick question.. how do you properly expose birds against the sky background shooting up. I tend to use center-weighted metering and then bump up the exposure compensation to get enough exposure on the bird's body. In spite of that I end up many pics where the bird is just too dark over the sky background. Is there a trick to photograph birds in bright light outside?
thanks
V
Hi very nice video
i have question you said in video that you need extension tube for better magnification on 400mm prime, when i put a 1.4 extender on it will do the same job ?
Hi Tony, great video as always! I don't suppose you've had chance to evaluate the new Nikon 200-500 F5.6 VR? would like to know your opinion. Thanks. :-)
Hey tony awesome video by the way, just wondering, any chance you could review the canon 400mm f/4 do ii? thx :-)
Excellent test. "One or two steps closer and the 'worst' lens is better than the 'best' one" - that was good advice. Puts the whole thing in perspective. Thanks for a great video again.
Superb video! Do you recommend the Sigma 150-600mm contemporary lens for a Nikon D3300? I am mainly interested in bird photography, and a lens like this would surely get me closer to the subjects. Mt only concern would be the camera/lens pairing; would it be too 'low end' of a camera to pair with such a lens to produce 'sharp' results? Thanks!
i have a camera body canon eos 70D , & canon 100-400 is2 lens . can i use canon TC 1.4 III , is there any problem with auto focusing ?
Thank you so much for this review. I'm still on the fence about what zoom lens to buy. It will be my first and last. I want the reach of the 600mm, but I still am not sure if it outweighs the sharpness and the faster af you get with the 100-400mm. If you knew that you could only choose one lens and that you would never be able to buy another... which would you buy? I have a 90D. I also use a monopod or tripod. Thank you!
Great video thank you. Tony, If you had to for best picture quality with a 400 5.6 would you use a 1.4tc or crop to = size.
I have an A7ii with lea3 adapater and would like to pick up a longer lens. I was either thing the Sony 70-400 or the Tamron 150-600. Any recommendations on which one would be better.
hello,
i have the sigma DG 150-500mm 5-6.3 APO HSM, i have it mounted on a D810 and wanted to know your opinion and or input on this particular set up. just asking cause maybe i would be missing something with this particular lens.
Hey, Tony, thanks for the all great videos. i wish to buy canon 70-300 f4-5.6 usm is L lens.. some reckon this lens is poor in bokeh..have you had any experience about this. could you please make a review video for us with this lens..
Hi Tony, great video, thank´s! I would ask how the performance of the Tamron vs Sigma is at 400 to 600mm zoom range?
What lens is perfoming better (AF, sharpness....)? Thank you Tony!
Great to see the review about the Canon 100-400mm. Was thinking of getting one for motor racing shots. What about using a Parrot Drone for the focus tracking test as it can run a constant pre-program Circuit.
Would love to see a test of the Sigma 150-600C which is lighter as well as the new Tamron 150-600 Version 2. Thanks for some great videos.
Thanks Guys and Lady for a super test video. I was leaning on buying a used 400 prime for my 70d but the good 100-400 sharpness results got me a little bit confused. What would you say about using the 100-400 as a portrait lens also? How is the background blur ? Yes it is much more expensive but if it could work good as a portrait lens maybe the double cost could be worth it.
Best regards from Sweden (Here we also drive Volvo 👍) l
Hi Tony, I am looking for a good lens for wildlife photography but could not take a decision between Tamron 150-600 G2 and Nikon 200-500 fx . Please suggest which one is better for me as both cost almost same
This video helped push me toward the 400 prime, for less than $600 usd (used) I will gladly take the lack of zoom and minimum focusing distance over the 100-400ii, it means I can buy a new body that much sooner. Keep up the good videos guys
Great video guys. One question though. You were really not so keen on the old 100-400 zoom, how does the new one perform? I've been told the focussing is really fast and accurate and I might just favour it above the 400 5.6 as it has more range and IS?
I am having a Canon eos 70d and I want a zoom lenses which will you suggest me sigma 150 -600 contemporary or Ramon 150-600 for wildlife
Great info thanks, I'm pretty much sold on the Canon 100-400 IS mk2, but is it compatible with my Canon 50D APS-C I'm thinking wildlife mainly birds. As commented, smaller pople (like me), weight is a factor. Your comment re 400 prime got me thinking. 400+2x converter from the hide gives great range but will I get vignetting. Your comments please. Many thanks.
I have the canon lens on a 6D Mark II and have a heck of a time with the autofocus on with this lens. I seem to only get a center focus point and have a super hard time following anything that is moving. I'm also using a 1.4x extention. What am I doing wrong????
Thank you Tony for the video.. Been waiting for it..
That's an awesome video, thanks guys. I'm trying to find a second hand 400 prime and I'm definitely happier spending that money on something I now know more about. Which brand of camo do you use for your lenses? I've looked around and some are pricier than I thought.
You guys are the best team for photography education and entertainment!
Could you do a review of the canon 400mm f4 do ii, i have only seen one or two reviews of this lens online, and it is one that i am considering.
Thanks for the video guys! Great as usual! Since some of us shoot "the other brand" how does the Tamron and Sigma compare to the Nikon stuff? Also, you never did really address the focus speeds of the Tamron and Sigma. Which was better and by how much if any? Thanks!
Hi there I have the sigma 150-600 c and shoot on a canon 7d mark 2 I’m just not finding the lens as sharp as I’d like specially for such as birds on a lake even on a tripod I found the results quite poor the lens is gone for shooting birds in the direct sunlight but any shade or like I say poor pics in the lake now my question would I be better with the canon 100-400 or there’s even a battered canon 400 2.8 i s on the cards but then I’m fearing the weight of the 2.8 is gonna cut down how much I do with it can you help beat lens for clarity and portability cheers
what would you choose if you just got a canon 7d mk 2 body and are in need of 1 normal zoom (for traveling and normal daily use) and 1 tele/telezoom for wildlife? i wanna step up my game but im just not sure what to get! anyways greetings from Norway!
Excellent work guys, nice testing.
hi have you had a go with the sigma 150-600 contemporary help with the pros and cons
Two statements stuck out at me. "Teleconverter is built in" and "all it takes is one or two steps to be sharper". Thanks again for a no nonsense video, uncluttered but informative and entertaining. I purchased the Tamron some time ago largely based on a previous review you did. This video has reassured me that I made the right decision.
Nice test, on market are sigma 100-400 and tamron also. What is better to choose compared to canon 400mm L prime ? I have m6mk2 body.
I am in the marked for a lens for my 7d MkII to use for this type of wildlife shooting. Do you think the 400 5.6L has enough reach? As I am venturing into a new area of photography for me, is a prime to hard to start with? I could go for the Sigma sports but I am a bit worried I will get tired of it because of the weight. You have a seriously good point in the video when you said that what matters is how much time it spends in your hands. I truly enjoy solid lenses but the Sigma might just be too heavy.
Thxs 4 the video, it was helpfull to me. I’am a Dutch birder and photographer using Sony A77+Sony 70/400. But Sony doesn’t support this System anymore. So It’s fading out in the time. I’am 72 and thinking witch option is the best considering aging and weight? Staying with Sony and move to the Sony 6400/6600+Sony 200/600 or i.e. Fujifilm T X3+Fuji 100/400? Like your opinion. Thxs 4 that!
Good afternoon Tony and Chelsea, Great videos!... I have a question in regards to a TC for my Nikon D7100. What would be a compatible TC for my camera and a Tamron 150-600 G2? Nikkor or Tamron TC's? 1.7 or 2.0?
Thank you so much
Hi, If I purchased the Canon 400mm prime it would be going on my 1.6x APS-C body. My understanding is that the 1.6x crop factor would effectively turn this lens into a 640mm f8.9. At this fixed focal distance and the f stop increased so much, would you still recommend the 400mm prime for me? The Canon 100-400 IS II is out of my price range. How about the Canon 300mm f4 IS prime? The Tamron? Thanks!
Loved the review and comparison, thank you both. Quick question though, if you do end up reading this. How relevant is this review 3 years later, are all lenses here still valid choices, or has something new came in to the market that would rival these?
Thanks again, and should be long before you hit 1M subscribers! Go go!
Which one would be good for Sports Photography? (especially football(soccer) matches) where you need more light
Tony & Chelsea. I have a Canon 70-200 F2.8 Gen 2 but I am wanting a longer reach for Wildlife and Sporting events daytime and night. I know the 70-200 F2.8 is great. What lens would you recommend for both? Canon 100-400 F4.5 gen 2, Tamron 150-600F5.6 Gen 2, or Canon 400 F5.6 ? Would the Canon 400 without Image Stabilization be bad for this?
Hopefully you get this, but I am a fairly new person to photography. I have been doing it off and on for several years, I started out originally with 35mm film years ago. I stopped for a long time and only the past couple of years have I picked back up again . I currently have a Canon 60D ( soon will be upgrading to 7d MII) I like to do a lot of wildlife photography but I also like to do moon shots and night photography. Which would be better to have over all? Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary? or the Canon 100-400 II
+Tony Northrup Thanks for all the videos! I was wondering if you could do a Nikon version of this? Tamron vs Sigma (S&C) vs Nikon 200-500 including cropping the 500 upto 600mm equivalent. I would love you forever! lol Cheers!
I kinda need additional information... How is the Canon 100-400 II giving a better magnification than the 600mm ones? Am I missing something about how focal length work or...?
HELP!!!!! Tony....PLEASE help!!! Canon 100-400 ii modes questions abound and answers are cryptic. If I am using back button focus for flying birds left to right at eye level, should I: 1) use mode 3; and 2) keep the back button focus depressed constantly if set to High Speed Continuous shooting? Or a different mode or not continuously press the back button focus? Love your book and videos! thank you
The IS is a tremendous advantage for photography from a moving platform (ie, boat) or for low light inside the forest photography. Otherwise the 400/5.6 is still a ridiculously good lens after all these years.
Hi, I have a question, maybe you can say something about it.I would buy a coat, or an obi machine, for the button.I like to look a little farther, but I don't know which one gives a nicer, more detailed picture, especially towards the end. m4 / 3 sensor or an apsc 100-400 say sigma. Yeah, now there is a pana fz 300, that should get better quality, in detail, in drawing, etc. Hope you understand because I used a translator. Thanks .
Thanks for a hard work! Interestingly the sharpness of Canon 100-400 makes up for 200mm on a tele-end... how do you explain that?
