Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The sigma 100-400mm f5-6. Is a great value for the money. Pounds and comes with a tripod adapter. At 400mm, crop mode gets me a usable 600mm click.



Cons

The funniest thing is that they won't even get the benefit of their sleaziness. Independent manufacturers have made alternative collars available at half the price!

Quality


Let’s discuss in detail starting with the best in class sony 100400 f 4


3 rxdin short an absolutely great lens at a fantastic price if you can live with the shortcomings


With no image stabilization built into the lens it does not compete for highest image quality when you must use a lower shutter speed


Let’s talk its strengths and a few weaknesses you may have read about optically it gives s 95 of the quality again at 38 of the cost

Price


6 that costs 2500 out of the price range of most

Shipping


Autofocus is lightning fast even on fast moving subjects like an aircraft

Competitiveness


This lens probably doesnt fully match the brilliance of sonys gm 100400 but for the everyman without 2500 its worth a real look


Not worth considering although i am in general a huge fan of sony’s awesome optics

    You can always spend a ton of money to buy the highest rated lenses but if you have limitations on funds

    Make no mistake about it that shooting a long way off isnt the only good part of this lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However my photos dont pay any bills so spending 2000 on a sony ggm telephoto isnt in the cards this is just an indulgent hobby for me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had read about the previous iteration for canonnikon and it got pretty great reviews but i wasnt especially interested in adapting that lens to use on my sony


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I figure buying nonsony lenses already puts autofocus at a disadvantage why add adapters on top of that challenge


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I don’t like that the zoom is counter to other lenses specially the sony and nikkor


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Auto focus can be off if you are shooting a cluttered subject so zooming in works and then back out to frame but i like to just use manual focus


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’ve been seeking a lighter long tele zoom option and have compared four alternatives in depth
