This is a review of the SIGMA 100-400mm Lens designed from the ground up for Sony E Mount Mirrorless Cameras. Lenses like this are perfect for wildlife, outdoor sports, capturing kids and pretty much anything else you can think of where you need some extra zoom range.
What makes this lens unique is that it's designed for mirrorless bodies. That means it's smaller, lighter and designed to work specifically with Sony E Mount and the L Mount Alliance.
Since the zoo is closed, I borrowed a few kids to test this lens out. Being that I was using a Sony, I was able to utilize lock-on tracking and eye-af which makes photographing kids much easier. The lens focused fine, the OS worked well and the zoom range is extensive. I do expect a 150-600 one day, but that's going to much heavier and larger then this 100-400mm lens.

WHO WANT THIS LENS????? I'm GIVING AWAY A CAMERA VALUED UP TO $4,999!!! Enter the SUper HUGER Camera Giveaway right here bit.ly/megafro2020
Yes please 😲 gimmi gimmi gimmi haha although would force me to finally upgrade camera
I'd love an Art lens equivalent someday. I love my Sigma Art 24-70 for the Sony.
Tis would be nice, especially for I.
Does it allow 20fps when on an A9? Or limited to 10fps?
I photographed some wildlife with it last night. Really sweet lens. Of course I'm a slight bit biased ;)
I love your videos man. I’m 43 and it’s just down to earth and real. Appreciate it.
I’m buying this lens today. Been endlessly researching between 150-600 sigma, all Sony telephoto lenses, tamron etc. And I feel this is the best fit for zoo/ animal / wildlife photography in my budget
Hey, now that you've had it for a while, how is it holding up? Do you regret not getting the 150-600? Cheers
I was thinking of the dslr version. I'm glad I waited. I want this eventually. When I have to do sound board shoots again
I really enjoy your humour, thank you for doing something different from others. Your videos are unique and fun to watch, while also pack in all the relevant information needed. Great job 🙏💗
EYE Want One! Nice review as always Mr. Polin. Much appreciated!
Thanks for answering all of my questions in this video. I’m thinking I’ll use it for my son’s soccer outside of course.
You can pump the zoom through the lens hood, that's why the lens hood design it is in the low part, to put your fingers there too, like it happens in the DSLR 100-400 lens.
Thank you for your review. Just purchased this lens today!
Man I enjoyed to watch this video !
Keep up with the good work and a fine sense of humour!!!
Jared, thanks for the video. After watching the video, I began to search for the Sigma 100-400 lens only in Canon EF mount. I checked with all of the major sellers, you know who they are, but also because of your recommendation I checked out Allen's Camera. All of the major online sellers had the lens for $799.00 and I almost dropped my teeth when I saw Allen's Camera price of also $799, but wait, they had a $190 instant rebate which made my price only $609. I instantly ordered the lens, thank you for recommending Allen's Camera and this will not be my last purchase from them.
I really loved this review. It was so much fun.
Thanks for the review. I enjoyed watching this video.
I am rooting around in the couch right now looking for loose change. I want this lens. A7RIII, 24-105 f4, 100-400, Travel kit complete.
i hoped for the l-mount alliance shout but it didnt happen now im sad :-(
Happy to see this lens from Sigma. Still waiting for the 150-600 for Sony E-Mount.
U can easily get that range on the apsc lineup
Deffo considering this over the gmaster as it would net me the tamron 70-180 2.8 also within the same money - any tests on the a9 ?
awesome! I was waiting for a cheaper alternative with more than 200mm.
I really want Sigma to make a 70-200mm for e mount
it has been announced way before tamrons 70-180 yet it never came out... I am slowly giving up waiting
The Tamron 70-180mm is an absolute beast of a lens; I love shooting with it!
@@adrian_de_graaf I almost went with it, but I ended up pre-ordering the Sigma. I still have my Tamron 70-200 for my Canon 6D and that camera is still just fine for studio portraits.
@@adrian_de_graaf I would have bought that one if it wasn't so expensive here in Europ, and if it was compatible with the Sony 2x converter (it's not).
I use the sigma 70-200 sport for Canon with the mc-11 adapter. A bit heavy but works great.
Amo seus videos !!! O melhor de todos !!! Congrats from down here in Rio de Janeiro.
I like your style. Good review. I learn a lot just looking at your videos.
this lens looks like a lot of fun. I'll totally get it if released for the RF mount.
@@gerardferry3958 Interesting, I'll look into it.
Agree RF mount option will take my money instantly
@@gerardferry3958 what lens exactly are you talking about?
I’ve pre-ordered (in Australia). Cost wise and for performance, plus light weight make the decision to buy easy. Thanks for a great review.
great review as always. I would've liked to see a brief AF video on this lens
Might get this for my Lumix S1, and as I have sad before the reviews is more than just reviews. You can always learn something about photography.
Ill be 100% getting one of these for some plane spotting!
Sigma has been knocking it out of the park lately. Great quality and affordable. I hope they make some for the RF mount.
Well this aged well 💀
@@wyoder9511 Yeah. I'm selling all my Canon gear lol.
I love your reviews!!! thanks
I dont shoot sony, but the lack of grain at ISO 2500 for that sunset shoot was pretty damn good with that lens!
I am glad it passed the wind tunnel test , without the wind tunnel test it would have been a. " no go " , thank you Jarod 👌.
On a serious note , it seems to do the job fine ,
Wondering when it will be available in the shops , I cannot see a mention of it down under as yet.
The wind tunnel test did it for me, I've seen enough, I'm getting one!
Would love to see this compared to the Sony SEL70350GOSS
PLEASE ANSWER
HI Jared, does It mantain focus while zooming?
Image qualità Is at the same level of 70-200f4?
I picked up a 100-400 Canon from Allen’s on Tuesday, store is back open for in store purchases.
There are many parents who like taking pictures of their kids playing sports in fields, like baseball or football, and this would appeal to them. And given the great low light performance of Sony's newer cameras, it should do well in indoor settings too, like indoor sports or recitals and plays. And at under a grand, this should appeal to a lot of beginning professionals who want to get into shooting indoor events like graduations but don't have the budget for Sony glass.
Thank you for this review Jared! I own a SONY a7iii and really want to get into wildlife photography. This lens is actually in my budget. I'm also saving for the Tamron 70-180 and 28-75 :)
I'm very happy with the performance of my Sigma 100-400 Contemporary for Canon EF + MC-11 I use with my A6500. I'd like to see someone do a comparison of the adapted lens and the new one. I'm guessing there wouldn't be enough difference to tempt me to upgrade ( I hope). I think the 100-400 and the Sigma 16mm f1.4 are about the sharpest lenses I own.
Been meaning to get something beyond 200mm, almost dropped money on the Sony 70-350 G for my a6500, but now this gets announced. Kinda glad I didn't jump the gun back then. This will work on both my a7RII and a6500. Definitely worth the wait.
Have you also tested the Sony 70-350 for APSC ? Do you think That’s the Sigma is a better Option?
Because i use the Sony and don’t know, if i sold it for the Sigma🤔
I just bought this lens used from Japan and I can't wait to get it!
I was dreaming of the Sony version as its close focus mfd is great, but this has the potential to make my dream come true
This will be my next lens for my A7iii. Wind tunnel test was the deciding factor!
I’m looking for a lens case for this lens (don’t know why it didn’t come with one!) any recommendations?
I feel Sigma has been designing more interesting lens then anyone else lately. For instance how many companies have made a f/1.8 zoom for aps-c cameras.
11:49 Fro how do you do that video screen and the effect of shooting frames? Thanks, great video I don't have a sony but if I did it looks like a solid lens.
That range and price is tempting. I have used my Nikon 200-500mm with adapter on my Sony a7ii for wildlife shots.
What brand Adapter bro? I own Procore + 200-500mm in A7iii : AF is bad
Thanks for this review. Can you please test it with Sony APSC such as a6000 :)
Does it have the same image quality and sharpness as the DG one with mc-11 adapter on a sony body? Has anyone done a side by side comparison?
Coming to the L mount as well. Gonna get me one for my S1R
I wish Jared could do a little review to see the compatability, but for the price I'm gonna go for it aswell!
I used to not like you, Jared, but after I watched your history of Jared video and see how you've worked your ass off to get where you are, I'm a fan. Congratulations! I know. Too many commas.
I defiantly want to get this lens.
Definitely getting this one once I have the money saved. it will work on my a6100 until I can afford a full frame Sony.
This is perfect for me. I just completed my Tamron trinity and I was looking at the 100-400 GM but I would much rather spend half of the amount! Anyone know if Tamron is planning on doing a 100-400?
150-500mm
I have the Canon version with the e-mount adapter is it worth changing over to the straight e-mount?
The lens look quite nice. Though I don't know if your review meets the target market of this lens. I don't believe many will buy it for portraits (and even if you got some nice pictures there!), but mostly for a budget choice for nature/bird/sports photography. Instead of taking pictures of the kids, should have taken pics of a dog running and jumping around, or birds from your place, and whatnot, as those need the high shutter speeds on which you really didn't show the performance.
I think his hole joke was to use kids instead of animals because they randomly run, jump and role around like athletes or... animals xD
Valid point! I was looking for its sport performance more than anything
Really good review!! Thanks Jared! Tell Brandon I said hello. Have been doing business with them for a long time! I don’t think you could go wrong for $949.
Do the G Master lenses make a big difference on the higher resolution cameras. If you show us an eye at 1:1 at minimum focus will good idea imho Thankyou for vids
Are they gonna make version of this lens for canon mirrorless?
And if so - does its fit to the eos m mont?
Can use a 2x extender on that to get 800mm? That's just wondering... But...
Why not ALWAYS have a polarizer filter in outdoors photography?
finally!! no other 100-400 in this price range for e mount
I wonder how this is for video?? How good would it be on an A7C?
cant decide on this or the Sony E 70-350mm for my a7iii. I know it crops but I want it for hard NZ hunting trip and 90% video. Weight is the only reason I think for the choice?
Your hair is amazing. The review was pretty good too. 👍
"Why am I the outta focus guy?" Ha! Also funny Peter Brady moment with the voice. All that was missing was you singing that song they did in the show. For this lens, no for me but that's because I shoot indoor food BUT I am super interested in Sigmas 16mm, 30mm and 56mm package deal for my Canon M50 (starter camera sure, but I LOVE it). Any chances of you do reviews on those? I know you did an M50 guide, than you buy the way, that was a super helpful video. So I figured I'd ask if you could do a review on the other Sigmas or, if I missed it and you already did, please direct me to said video. Thanks, Ivy.
Hi Jared! i have one question,i have the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM with Sony a7 III and i use it with Mc11 Sigma,what you think about these two lenses? i was thinking to replace the Canon with this Sigma but first i want to know if the differences are significative,thanks if you reply
Very nice. There's no way I'm paying what Sony is asking for the GM, but this one I'll consider getting.
I'm sad I didn't hear: LLLLLLLLL MOOOOUUUUNNNNT AAALLLLIAAANNCEE!
When he first used that, he was so making fun of it but with every video he is releasing when he uses that, he is less sure if it really is appropriate.
I highly doubt he'll ever ditch his Sony for an L-Mount Camera (if he's going to switch, it will be most likely Canon or Nikon), but Panasonic and SIGMA did earn some respect with their L-Mount releases. The lenses are all awesome, one better than the other and the cameras released so far haven't been perfect, but not worse than what the competitors offer, just different.
Skittles is my favorite preset of all of them. Excellent starting point for my photos before tweaking.
love it, love it, gotta have it!
Hi, I just got this lens a week ago and I am noticing that the autofocus when shooting in video mode is veeeery slow compared when shooting photos. I mainly do videos and this seems to be an issue for me. I tried it both on my a7iii and a6600 and had the same experience. Have you had similar issues? I also haven't updated the firmware of the lens from 1.0 to 2.0 since I have to ship the lens for that. Thanks!
I did get kind of nostalgic about Philly from when I lived there for a while though. Getting emotional over a few buildings
Love your videos
Holy Moly! I've been dreaming about Sony 200-600 but it is way too expensive for me. This lens, on the hand, might be IT. Thanks, Jared, your reviews are the best.
Sigma is porting their Sigma 60-600mm F4,5-6,3 DG OS HSM Sports to the E-Mount. Just need to be patient...
@@stacylynn2187 cant wait for that lens in e mount
@@stacylynn2187 Seriously? Damn, I just bought a bicycle. Hopefully, I will be able to save fast enough for one of these lenses. Thanks a lot for letting me know.
I totally forgot to use the /fro link when I bought my lens this week... oops. next time (sigma 150-600 btw)
If I did not already have the GMaster 100-400, this would be on my to buy list.
Wish someone would drop a 100-400 for the Z mount. Read that Tamron is working on it. Not sure if I should just get an F mount one and deal with the adapter or wait... I hate waiting.
Glad you brought up its not a good sports lens indoors!
Need to find a quality e-mount sports lens for indoors
i own a vari aperture f4-5.6 from canon 70-300mm L IS and yes i also own the 70-200 f2.8 IS II(bought second hand) and i totally can see the appeal - thanks to fro's review i bought the sigma 150-600 and im loving it but it is indeed not something you casually take with you - same goes for the 70-200 if i whip it out its on purpose (say when my company asks me to take pictures of our x-mas dinner, when we go on hikes i wouldnt probably take it with me ;-) ) and thats why i love the 70-300 its handy enough that you can carry it in your hand for a 2h walk easily, its a nice range and with some manouvering allows also closer things to be pictured so... i guess 70-300 is just the version for larger stuff close up compared to the 100-400 ;-) / actually before i owned the 200 i shot with the 300 lense a motocross event and thanks to the way the track was layed out on a slight slope, i had very good background separation - eventhough the drivers where at least 10-20m away from me in cases. Would the 200 have been better for motion and blur? YES! but did it matter? Actually yes because my cam has "only" 26mp and if i had to crop in another 100 the picture would probably end up at a much lower resolution.
Did anyone notice Juliana’s shoes were on backwards? 14:06
I would say the wrong foot. If they were pointing backwards she would be screaming like crazy.
So were her brothers, his legs are crossed.
I need to ask this question, is that noise at 200-400 ISO normal on the A7RIV?? Or is it something about the lens? I mean I do own a A7RII and haven't seen that much noise on a picture took with that light conditions and that ISO values, so if it's because of the lenses I'll save the money and get the 70-200 f4 from sony or the 70-180 2.8 from tamron. Thanks!
Do you know how it compares to the 70-200 f2.8 with the 2x teleconverter? Its basicly is a 140-400 f5.6 then
Jared do you know how this compares to the MC-11 + Sigma 150-600mm? I wouldn't mind the extra reach for birding, but if the sigma natively for e-mount is going to be more responsive I'd consider it.
The 100-400 is probably going to have more responsive autofocus since it’s native and designed for mirrorless cameras
Hi Jared, which one do you prefer? Sigma 100-400 or Tamron 150-500?
100-400 is a fantastic range. i use the newer canon 100-400L and its phenomenal
What is on the hot shoe mount when he is shooting in the everglades?
I use this lens canon ef mount on the mc11 with my a7r2 and it is a great combo. Pretty sharp lens for the price.
2:39 had me dying😂
any word if it will it work with sony teleconverters?
Do you think that they’re going to built a 70-200mm f2.8 dg e-mount sigma art for Sony e-mounts ?
i have a sony nex-6 and just bought this lens. my camera will not recognize it. it recognizes all my other e mount lenses. am i doing something wrong or is there a problem with the lens? thanks!
AWESOME! Perfect fpr plane-/helicopterspotting! 400mm is what I need cause the Sony Sel 55-210mm (315 mm equivalent) gets too short on my Sony A6300 to be honest!
I have the same camera - sony a6300. Did you end up getting this lens? Will it work okay with the a6300. Looks great to build on a mid range price range set for wildlife photography!
Sigma is very good at marketing! This lens has so much potential... except for night photography. Tried setting up my tripod and take photos of a waxing gibbous moon. Lens is so damn heavy without the tripod collar. My camera tripod foot was not balanced enough. Sigma got us!
I have the Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS since a while.
Love it!!!
That looks like a handy lens and a good price too .
I was going to pick up that 70-300 (used) next month. Tempting to wait for the Sigma..! In Canada it would be like, $8000 tho!
It should be lighter than Sigma so it will be a better travel companion. I wonder about image quality out of 70-300, there is slow amount of reviews available on TH-cam.
@@sihill1989 i have the 70-300 G ( fir about 2 years) and I'd recommended it over any other mid range zoom made for Sony E. Its much under rated but a great travel lens as its pretty light too. Image quality is good in my opinion. Better than the 70-200 f4 which im selling now as its no longer needed.
Michael Millward thank you. I’ve ordered 70-300 few days back and waiting for delivery. I find this new sigma interesting and figuring out whether I should keep Sony on arrival or send it back. In the end I can stay with Sony and change later on if needed.
Hello, in many ,says that autofocus for sports Is not so reliable and Quick.. how do you feel this Lens for sports (for example rugby when players run towards you?
I have the 80-400 Nikor and thats surprisingly very well workin...on Z7 even better.
If i had A Sony i find other Lenses .
This is for Bright light
As we’re going into winter, I really want to try and photograph the surfers and Kitesurfers once we get the big Atlantic swells.
I was looking at the Tamrom 150-500 but I dunno if that’s over kill or not.
What would you or others recommend between that and this? If I was rich and money wasn’t an issue I’d get the Sony 200-600, but I think it’s well too much money as it’s not something that would get use day to day.
Would this Signa 100-400 suffice for the surfer images, and maybe the occasional birds etc? Or is the Tamron 159-500 the way to go?
It’s one or the other.
I have never seen such a hilariously entertaining review for something as boring as lenses. Had my attention the whole time. Subbed!
looks awesome be great in a Canon M series ha thanks for another great reveiw stay safe
Is the full production model better then this pre- production model? Do you know ? What about speed on the A1 ?
Great review:)
Im looking for some advice on what lense to buy. i´ve got a sony a7iii with a sony f4 24-105 and want to get a second lens. i cant decide between the 100-400mm in this video or a sigma 70-200mm f 2.8. Any suggestions or advice?
This probably comes in late but generally its a good idea to first see of you like the zoom range and when needed you can also go for faster glass
