Sigma has beaten the competition in being the first third-party lens maker to offer a native, mirrorless-optimized full-frame super-telephoto zoom for Sony's E-mount, and at just $950 it is a very attractive alternative to its name-brand competitor.

It's no secret that Sigma lenes don't perform as fast at AF on Panasonic cameras as Panasonics own leses. However I promise that with a littler patience and tinkering you will be capturing some stunning wildlife photos.

I photograph birds and then make drawings from the birds. I was using a 24 to 200 on my A7III but wasn't getting the shots I wanted. I tried the Sony 100 to 600 G but that is a seriously bulky lens for my old arthritic hands!

I bought this e fit lens after using my old Canon fit 100-400 with a Sigma adapter which I was very happy with. So far the new lens is still good, but I'm not yet sure if it beats the old one?

A fantastic and light weight telephoto lens with sharp opitics, great stabilisation and room for a tripod mount. Plus both the Sigma 1.4x and 2x teleconverters work with the lens while retaining full auto focus features.
