Matt Granger: Is the 60-600mm Sigma Zoom Right for You?

Matt Granger reviewed the Sigma 60-600mm lens. Check out the video to see if he liked the lens.

And ThePhoBlographer tested the lens and concluded:

The answer to the question, “Should I buy the 60-600mm f4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports?” comes down to one thing: What’s more important to you, versatility or autofocus speed? If versatility is the most important, then this Sigma has plenty of that. It’ll miss some fast action shots, and results won’t be quite as sharp. But, it will hit 60mm and 600mm when a lens swap isn’t possible due to time constraints or a wet or dusty environment.

If a fast autofocus speed and sharpness are more important, then the similarly priced Sony 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS is easily the better choice. It drops far fewer frames, resulting in more sports and wildlife photography keepers. Plus, it’s an internal zoom lens that’s a little lighter.

The answer, however, changes for L-Mount shooters, who have few options regarding the 600mm focal length. Again, Sigma’s 150-600mm is a little sharper, but there’s not much out there regarding a super-telephoto zoom for L-Mount. While I would choose the Sony 200-600mm lens instead on E-Mount, there are not many other options that reach 600mm on L-Mount.
