Sigma 150-600mm Sport review - super-telephoto zoom!

Sigma 150-600mm Sport review - super-telephoto zoom! | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it

The Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sport is a super-telephoto zoom lens, available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts, and corrected for full-frame use. Announced in September 2014, it replaces the earlier 150-500mm f5-6.3, extending its reach while also offering higher performance and tougher build. It also now allows Sigma to compete on range with the existing Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3.


Interestingly, Sigma is replacing the 150-500mm with not one, but two new lenses. Both share the same 150-600mm f5-6.3 specification, but have different levels of quality, construction and sealing. The higher-end Sport version reviewed here is fully weather-sealed, while the more affordable Contemporary version, yet to be released, employs a simpler optical construction and sealing at the mount to hit a lower price point. While the full specification and price of the Contemporary model were not known at the time of writing, the dual-offering remains a cunning approach by Sigma, allowing the cheaper version to compete with Tamron and the pricier one to go up against premium options from Canon and Nikon. Sigma appends the model names with an S for Sport or a C for Contemporary, so officially speaking I'm reviewing the 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM | S.

Like the 150-500mm before it, the 150-600mm range is ideal for wildlife and sports photography, tight sunsets, or even distant street work. Despite Sigma's previous success with this range it's also one that's not been covered by Canon and Nikon, making it unique to third parties. And while the Sport version is a premium lens, Sigma's still managed to price it a little below the most recent Canon 100-400mm and Nikkor 80-400mm options, missing out on their slightly wider coverage, but crucially reaching 50% longer. Read on to find out if this is the best super-telephoto zoom for your DSLR or mirrorless camera!

Viltrox AF 75 mm f/1.2 review - Introduction - LensTip.com

Viltrox AF 75 mm f/1.2 review - Introduction - LensTip.com | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it

Viltrox entered the lens market in 2018, presenting the manual PFU RBMH 20 mm f/1.8 ASPH designed for full frame mirrorless Sony cameras. The following years saw a real shower of launches and, as a result, currently our database features as many as 18 Viltrox lenses.

Apart from interesting, often completely unique parameters, Viltrox is one of the first independent optics producers that also offers lenses with autofocus; mind you, they don't limit themselves to the open Sony mount but also include instruments designed for mirrorless Fujifilm X and Nikon Z systems.

 

The Viltrox AF 75 mm f/1.2 is one of such lenses – its parameters are interesting and it is an autofocus design. Apart from that, you can choose from as many as three mounts, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Sony E. What's important, all variants of this lens allow you to use an automatic focusing system.

Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L - Review / Test Report

Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L - Review / Test Report | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it
The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L was one of the first lenses for the RF-mount cameras. You may also say that it was nothing short but a STATEMENT because it's the world's first full-format standard zoom lens with a constant max aperture of f/2. It supplements the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L IS so Canon users are blessed with two high-speed zoom lenses in this range class. The two lenses are fairly different so each one has its place with the RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L surely being the more exotic choice. Both lenses are expensive, of course, but the RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L is actually relatively affordable ... in the grand scheme of things. As a rule of thumb, the price tends to double per extra full stop but the difference between the two is "merely" 1/3rd although you have to take the slightly reduced range and the lack of an image stabilizer into account here. At $3100/3500EUR, it's still far from what normal mortals tend to spend on a standard zoom lens. However, this lens may just be the right thing for professional users who want the speed of prime lenses while having the flexibility of a zoom lens.

No system is complete without macro lenses and while Canon has been offering the RF 85mm f/2 STM IS macro early, it isn't really aligned to professional needs at least. In order to serve this market, Canon finally released the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L USM IS macro. As professional-grade lenses go, the price for the entry ticket is on the high side at $1400/1500EUR - that's more than double the amount you have to pay for the faster RF 85mm f/2. This raises the question of whether it's really worth it ... so let's find out.
