Sony, Sigma, and Tamron: Who Makes the Best Supertelephoto Zoom Lens?

Supertelephoto zoom lenses are useful for a wide range of genres, including everything from sports and wildlife to landscapes. There are a lot of options out there, and this excellent video review takes a look at four of them, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport, Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS, and Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD.

Coming to you from Tom Calton, this awesome video comparison looks at four supertelephoto zoom lenses, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport, Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS, and Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD. Whereas a decade ago, such lenses were rarer and offered significantly less image quality than higher-level professional options, the last few years have seen an explosion in affordable zooms that feature highly impressive image quality and performance, making them legitimate professional devices that do not cost the stratospheric prices of comparable primes. And with the advanced high-ISO and autofocus capabilities of modern bodies, those narrower apertures aren’t the hindrance they used to be. Check out the video above for Calton’s full thoughts on each lens.
