The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - Klaus - 06-23-2017 ... has a plastic body ... ;-) Translation: It's here now. The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - Brightcolours - 06-23-2017 Just how sluggish (or not) is its AF speed? The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - JJ_SO - 06-23-2017 The shell of the body is plastic - so what? A couple of expensive Nikkors are also not made of Magnesium. 300/4 PF E is such an example. And the metal bodies of Fujinons just hide a couple of plastic parts inside. This I can say for the 56/1.2 because I saw these parts after the lens was cracked. I'd wonder, if anybody would find a single AF-lens without plastic parts. AF-speed was definitely on par with the Fuji 100-400, or better. Others I could not compare. The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - AN2 - 06-23-2017 WOW! Waitting for you reviews! The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - backcountryskier - 07-17-2017 And? How does it stack up against the 150-600 C? The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - davidmanze - 07-17-2017 Dustin Abbot reviewed the lens, he said: The AF is fast and accurate in AF-S mode, however the tracking performance let the lens down, just not being able to nail moving subjects reliably, not coming near the Canon 100-400mm lens's AF-C success rate! A pity as the lens is great in all other areas, maybe a FW update could do something to help. The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - JJ_SO - 07-17-2017 The Canon 100-400 is a kind of a lens, which costs nearly 1000 $ more - but I also read a review which said, for stills the Sigma resolves better at better contrast. On the Nikon side of things, there's simply nothing to compete with. The 200-500/5.6 is a lot bigger and heavier. The Sigma 100-400mm C ... - Klaus - 07-18-2017 Quote:And?
