Something you didn't cover is minimum focusing distance. On the Sony 200-600mm it is around 36' at 600mm. Which is why I sold it and got the Sigma where the minimum focusing distance is 7'. Makes a huge difference when you are shooting small birds such as warblers, sparrows and kinglets. At 150mm, the minimum focusing distance.is down to 10", which is almost macro territory. The Sony is a great lens for sports and larger wildlife but the Sigma is so much more versatile and cheaper.
Nice overview Liam. I own the Sigma 150-600mm C lens for my Nikon D7500 for wildlife images which works pretty well. That new Sports version looks really good and has the same filter diameter as my C version (95MM). It doesn't look like Canon & Nikon will be opening up their RF and Z mounts to third party lens manufacturers anytime soon though which is a pity.
Excellent video for people that don't have the financial clout to buy the 600mm f4 lens or if had the financial ability might prefer having a lighter backpack over long undulating hikes.
Thanks for adding the sports section.
Own the lens and shoot it on the a7iv for few weeks now, love it like u do. Good video m8!
Great job going over the ins and outs of the new lens, Liam (and awesome shots, too!).
Hey Thanks!

Great pictures and video! Thanx! 👍

Right on Steve. FYI the new sports lens is for mirrorless only. Currently E and L mounts. Thansk again!
Which rucksack is that you're using - seems to fit the lens really well?
Think Tank Backlight Elite 45L
Great video. Love it. Looks like a fun lens.
Thanks! Yes its great to shoot with for sure!
Hi Liam! I have the Sony A9ii and just purchased the Sigma 150-600mm sports lens. Will I need to calibrate this lens before using it?
Shouldn't have to. I have never done that..I pull em out of the box and shoot em! Enjoy!
Nice man. What camera did you pair it with?
I shot the Sony a9II for all the pics.
Great video! I know absolutely nothing about photography but where was that spot you drove to? It looks incredible
wow...le moustique sur le museau de la marmotte , terrible !
merci pour cette vidéo
What tripod would you recommend for this lens
what backpack are you using in this video?
Thank you very much
Did you think that the Lens workes Fine with the Sony a 7 III ?
Yes it would be great on the a7III!
Excellent video.
hey thanks!
I saw the big backpack you used in this video, what backpack is it?
Think Tank Backlight Elite 45L
Greate bike photos :)
I have the same camera are you getting the 20fps or down to 15?
Closer to 15...
I own it. Use it for bird photography and it does well.
there's a decrease in size but still, goddamnn thats a Big lens
You should see how big a 600mm prime is! Makes the 150-600 look tiny.
@@liamdoran2149 the sigma one? 🤣🤣🤣
Any chance for a comparison with the sony 200-600mm?
Nope, not from me. Check out Dustin Abbot or fro for solid comparison reviews. Thanks!
Talk about unpretentious. I don’t even have a camera, and this guy makes me want to go out and purchase a Sigma 150-600mm DG DN S lens.
I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
🤣
What camera bag is that!!
Think Tank Backlight Elite 45 L. Perfect for outdoor photography!
Thank you for your work. However, I'll be getting the Tamron instead.
Excellent video for people that don't have the financial clout to buy the 600mm f4 lens or if had the financial ability might prefer having a lighter backpack over long undulating hikes.
thanks...yeah a 600 f4 is extremely expensive and challenging to lug around. Good for some but now for everyone!
Nice work, and subscribed. Wish more folks would present this "No BS" look at products. The fake drama kills me. Thanks for the straight talk.
Thanks David! Keep in mind I am a Sigma ambassador so I cant do "reviews" so much as an overview or first look. Thanks again
Where are you posting your pics lately? Still on Exposure?
I have not posted to Exposure in a while. There is a blog on the SIGMA website with a bunch of shots. I also post to IG @Liam_doran_outdoors
