Pros & Cons
Pros
My patience was rewarded when this glass was announced. Both sony and sigma has excellent image stabilization.
Is works wonderfully. It's the best but topaz denoise is also quite good. Here’s my review:https://www. Amazon.
This is an outdoor lens, primarily, so whether it is sunny outside or cloudy you can always keep the shutter speed fast enough and the iso low enough. I can get pretty good shots with handheld as long as the lighting is good, you have a high enough sh... Read More
This lens probably doesn't fully match the brilliance of sony's gm 100-400, but for the everyman without $2500, it's worth a real look. It's also thinner and easier to stow in a camera bag without a separate sling bag.
At 400mm, crop mode gets me a usable 600mm click. Used on my sony aspc a6400, at 400mm it gives me 600mm of focal coverage, due to aspc sensor.
Cons
Sorely disappointed. I took about a dozen shots and immediately repackaged it for return.
Highlights
Quality
Grate resolution, lightweight, top notch image stabilization and produce fantastic images
It shoots photos at its best image quality in sunlight and even during cloudy weather it still does a fantastic job.
With no image stabilization built into the lens, it does not compete for highest image quality when you must use a lower shutter speed.
0 this lens is quite sharp, and the image sharpness pretty much remains up to 400mm at f6.
Price
You really can’t beat the price point for this much reach.
3 rxdin short an absolutely great lens at a fantastic price, if you can live with the shortcomings.
6 that costs $2,500, out of the price range of most.
You can always spend a ton of money to buy the highest rated lenses but if you have limitations on funds.
Shipping
It arrived quick with prime and have been happy with it
Packaging/appearance
First: the lens, although used, came out of the box as if it was brand new.
Competitiveness
Even though that lens is better than this particular lens for those thinking about buying the sigma it is still an excellent ch... Read More
In fact, i find the image quality to be noticeably better than that of the sony 24-240 which i own.
The only drawback with my lens and the new one you can expect to get with amazon is that amazon will have a better warranty wit... Read More
That lens is slightly better in image quality than the sigma but still the two are close.

I might have gone with the 200600 despite the size and weight but then i noticed its closest focus was 8 feet compared to 3 feet for the 100400
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I considered my potential photo subjects and decided i wanted more versatility because not all nature shots are far away so that shifted my attention back to the 100400 range

I then discovered this sigma 100400 lens
