Although if you plan to use filters, you'll stand to save substantially more than the minimal list price difference suggests, thanks to its use of much smaller 82mm filter threads. Nor is it that much less expensive than the Sigma, with a list price of $1399 saving you just 7%. With tripod mounts attached, it's about 220g (7.8 ounces) lighter, and saves just 5.4cm (2.2") in length with a 1.6cm (0.6") narrower barrel.

The Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 is only slightly less of a handful than the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3, even though it has less reach and is less bright at full telephoto. Sony E-mount shooters have a couple of excellent alternatives to consider, though: The Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD and Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS. Although in fairness if you want a tripod mount – something that's included with the 'Sport' lens and its other alternatives – you'll want to budget another $130, for a total of $1,080 list. And you can save money on the much smaller filters it accepts, too. It's also weather-sealed only at the mount, whereas the 'Sport' lens has seals throughout.īut if you can live with those drawbacks, it's much smaller/lighter and more affordably priced at just $950.

The nearest would be Sigma's own 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS 'Contemporary' lens, but it doesn't come close to the telephoto reach of the 150-600mm.

On the L-mount, there aren't really any close rivals.
