This is my first large lens. It seems to have a quality build and I haven't noticed any abnormalities. It seems to work well and focus OK with good speed. I bought the elefront tripod mount which fits and works well. I wish the hood had locking feature or more friction. I screws on and off with a loose thread fit. On a couple of occasions the act of sitting the camera down on my lap has unscrewed the hood and it has fallen off. I will probably modify myself to fix the problem. Other than that it seems like a high quality lens at a reasonable price and of course B&H customer service can't be beat. I've been a long time customer.

I have a Nikon 7500 DSLR and was getting frustrated my 300mm zoom wasn't quite capturing the details I'd hoped for with extended range shots (wildlife, mostly). The lens has some heft but certainly can be hand-held, especially when the vibration reduction is active. Recently I spent 2 hours wandering around an Audubon sanctuary with the weight of the camera/lens supported by my left hand and didn't get fatigued at all (I wouldn't recommend letting it hang freely from a neck strap if it's attached to the camera though).It does take some getting used to, and I spent most of my time on single focus point, Aperture priority, and moving between autofocus and manual override. The clearest focus can be elusive while handheld as there will be some fatigue and the ... MoreI have a Nikon 7500 DSLR and was getting frustrated my 300mm zoom wasn't quite capturing the details I'd hoped for with extended range shots (wildlife, mostly).

I bought this lens 9 months ago, and wanted to wait until I had used it for awhile to write a review based on real use and not just initial impressions.When I decided to get a longer zoom to shoot animals, birds and BIFS, I first looked at the 150-600 Sigma C and Tamron G2, and the Nikon 200-500. I never got to test out the Sigma, but I did rent the other two. I wasn't so impressed with the G2, but the Nikon was wonderful. Ultimately I decided all of them at 4.5 to 5+ pounds were just too big, bulky and heavy to use for long periods of time. I analyzed all the test shots I took with them and realized that most of what I was shooting was at 400mm or less. Cropping in a bit to get a 500mm or even 600 mm equivalent when needed is easy, so I decided I could go ... MoreI bought this lens 9 months ago, and wanted to wait until I had used it for awhile to write a review based on real use and not just initial impressions.When I decided to get a longer zoom to shoot animals, birds and BIFS, I first looked at the 150-600 Sigma C and Tamron G2, and the Nikon 200-500.

I analyzed all the test shots I took with them and realized that most of what I was shooting was at 400mm or less. Cropping in a bit to get a 500mm or even 600 mm equivalent when needed is easy, so I decided I could go smaller, that having 600mm wasn't worth the weight and size.Next I compared this Sigma 100-400 and the Tamron 100-400. Both produced equally beautiful still shots, but despite all the reviews claiming the Tamron has faster and better AF, I did not find that to be the case. I had both lenses at the same time and in testing I was able to compare shooting the same subjects in the same light. For tracking moving and flying birds, the Tamron went oddly out of focus far too often to be acceptable, whereas the Sigma was pretty spot on every time, and its AF seemed plenty fast. I got considerably more tack sharp keepers with the Sigma. The Sigma was also on a great sale at the time, including a free UV filter and dock, so that helped make my choice easy.My new Sigma was perfect right out of the box on my D7500, so there was no need to fine tune, it is tack sharp at every part of the range. The dock is important to have for firmware updates (there have been two since I got the lens). You can also use it to do specific adjustments for the Custom focus switch settings, and that's a nice capability to have with a lens. The latest firmware update made focusing even better, and it was already very good. The lens handles well and I always shoot hand held. People may complain about the lack of a tripod foot, but it really is not needed because the lens is not all that heavy. I do not get tired shooting with it over long periods of time. Had a tripod foot been offered, I would not have bought it anyway.Image quality is incredibly good...tack sharp, fantastic contrast, excellent clarity, gorgeous, rich color, and although this is not a low light lens I have gotten excellent shots in very poor light situations with a slightly boosted ISO. In the last 9 months this has become my top favorite lens, it is such fun and so easy to shoot with, and I am 100% satisfied with it and would buy it again. After looking at hundreds of photos from various lenses, I am convinced that Sigma lenses have a very special image quality that makes them stand apart from everything else, I always like the Sigma photos much more, they seem uniformly more striking on all levels.In addition to shooting critters, this lens is wonderful for landscape photos due to the sharpness and great color. Sample photos below.The first photo of the standing gull was shot late in the day, with low and gray overcast light at ISO 1400, 1/1250 and f/6, so this lens does quite nicely in less than optimum light! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially with the D7500 or D500.And here's a BONUS.....I bought the Think Tank Retrospective 10 v2 camera bag. It easily holds this lens mounted on my D7500 and laying on its side with grip side up, PLUS I can put several other lenses under the sling section that supports the camera/lens. Fantastic setup, and with this bag you can flip up the top flap of the bag and grab the camera very quickly. Love it!

The sigma 100-400 C is a great lens for a very reasonable rental price. On full frame the 100-400 is a great focal length for motorsports photography. Autofocus is quick and panning works very well especially with OS set on 2. I was very surprised at the sharpness of this lens. It is very lightweight and carrying it all day was a breeze. Sure there are sharper and faster lenses out, but at this price point I don't think there is anything that can beat it. As for LensRentals, as always, they were super on point with shipping and communication. THE best place to rent gear on the internet.
I order the Sigma 100-400mm lens for Canon.I received the lens a day early, and immediately upon opening the package I was blown away by the quality. The lens itself was in excellent condition and worked perfectly, and it came with a hard shell protective case and lens shield, both of which I found very useful. These guys really thought of everything. They even included extra packing tape in the box for when I had to send it back! I was so pleased with my lens that towards when it was time for me to return it I decided to extend my rental by an extra day. I sent an email to the support team and received an immediate response with a quote for my extension. Put shortly, the rental process was absolutely seemless from start to finish. I will definitely be back!
I like the versatility of having a 100-400mm zoom, but I've had a very difficult time getting high quality photos with this lens. I've had this lens for over two years now and, because I mostly shoot wildlife, I thought this would be a great lens to have. At first I thought it wasn't focusing accurately, or I wasn't, but I now believe the real problem is it seems to have a very shallow depth of field, even at small apertures. Even at f/8 (1/1000s), notice how this butterfly's wings are really only in focus in front and not near the rear, and notice all the daisies out of focus. I was standing about 5 feet away, so this DOF seems extreme. I was trying to get the whole butterfly in focus.I don't have the USB connector that enables firmware updates for this lens, so ... MoreI like the versatility of having a 100-400mm zoom, but I've had a very difficult time getting high quality photos with this lens.

But I shouldn't have to do that.I haven't had this issue with any of my other lenses. I should mention I use a Nikon Z6 and so this lens is using the Nikon FTZ adaptor. I also have a Nikon 500mm/f/4 that also requires the adaptor and does not have this issue, so the problem is probably not the adaptor.I can't recommend this one and I will likely replace it.
I've used this lense several times and I do like the results so far. I did have to use the dock to update the focusing firmware twice. After the second time I have positive assurance this lense is nice. It is lightweight, easy to zoom , and now focused correctly. I have obtained some great bird photos so far. You have to remember that this lense has 3 focus ranges and it's easy to forget which one you're using since 2 ranges are relatively short per se . Nevertheless it's a learning curve. The quality of my pictures compare to my Canon 70-200/ f2.8 ! I would recommend this lense to others because for $800 you can't go wrong. Just be sure you obtain the firmware dock when you purchase this lense. It's a global lense so people from all over the world are using it. ... MoreI've used this lense several times and I do like the results so far.

I purchased this lens as I was looking for more reach for wildlife photography. I use a Canon 7D (crop sensor) and my previous lens was the Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L IS USM zoom. I had not been overly happy with the Canon lens due to reach and sharpness leading to a less than satisfactory keeper rate. I have been using the Sigma 100-400 f/5-6.3 on my 7D for about a month now and am extremely happy with it. The Pros. 1) It is very sharp, even when cropping for a distant subject. Sharpness is noticeable compared to the previous zoom lens. 2) The zoom can be activated by either the twist ring or by push/pull using a finger groove in the included lens hood. 3) AF is reasonably fast and accurate. AF is also fairly quiet. 4) OS system is excellent, silent and definitely helps ... MoreI purchased this lens as I was looking for more reach for wildlife photography.

AF is also fairly quiet. 4) OS system is excellent, silent and definitely helps with the f/5-6.3 lens when shooting without a tripod. 5) Sigma makes a USB dock for the lens that allows user customization of such thing as AF speed and range settings, OS system settings, and can even allow you to fine tune the AF system at several focal lengths and several distances from subject. There is not a lot on the negative side of the ledger for me. 1) The lens does not come with a tripod mount ring collar. This is my biggest negative, however I purchased an iShoot Improved CNC 84mm tripod mount ring collar which was specifically designed for this lens and has been kept on the lens since it arrived. I am very happy with this from a design and integrity perspective and solves this negative completely for me. 2) The MF ring is a bit stiff and touchy (typical of long lenses with narrow DOF). I suspect the slight stiffness will improve with use. 3) The lens is not light but that is to be expected with a lens with this focal length range. I have carried it on walks/hikes for up to 2 hours so far without problem. Overall, I am extremely happy with this lens. If you are looking for a good build quality, capable super telephoto zoom at a reasonable price, the Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM is a very good option.
Already having the Nikon 200-500mm VR and a Nikon 70-200mm, I purchased the Sigma 100-400mm OS for those occasions the 200-500 is too bulky and the 70-200mm too short. I am not disappointed. Center sharpness wide open is very good. While corner sharpness is generally good, in cases where corner sharpness is critically important, stopping down works satisfactorily through the range. The lens works well with my FX, DX and Z bodies. I did add the ishoot foot as I like having the foot both for hand-holding and for tripod use. The OS is very good. Focusing is sufficiently fast and very accurate with all of my bodies: There has been no need to adjust settings to fine tune focus on any body as it is spot on throughout the range. While the zoom rotates opposite the ... MoreAlready having the Nikon 200-500mm VR and a Nikon 70-200mm, I purchased the Sigma 100-400mm OS for those occasions the 200-500 is too bulky and the 70-200mm too short.

Focusing is sufficiently fast and very accurate with all of my bodies: There has been no need to adjust settings to fine tune focus on any body as it is spot on throughout the range. While the zoom rotates opposite the direction Nikon zooms rotate, since this lens's zoom is designed to work as as a push-pull -- and since that function works so well -- zoom rotational direction is a non-issue. Finally, since the lens is compatible with the Sigma dock, I am not concerned about compatibility with my bodies for the foreseeable future; regardless, to date the Sigma works flawlessly with my 4 bodies and it has not been necessary to use the dock. While I like my Nikon lenses, I have no intention to replace this with a Nikon Z version when that comes out even if it's a hair sharper. This lens just works and it works well. Highly recommended!
This is a Sigma "Art" lens, as opposed to one in the company's lower-end, cheaper "Contemporary" series. The difference between the Art lenses and the regular lenses is obvious after only a few photographs. I am a professional artist and photographer, and I already own the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens, so this 20-70mm f/2.8 is the complement in what will eventually be the "holy trinity," which include the 70-200mm f/2.8 Art lens. Once you have these lenses, you won't want to go back to ordinary lenses. Images have that special "something" that spoils the discerning professional or advanced amateur. I have included two of my digital artworks that began with photographs using the Sigma 20-70mm Art lens. They're worth the extra cost because they are, after all, really an ... MoreThis is a Sigma "Art" lens, as opposed to one in the company's lower-end, cheaper "Contemporary" series.
