I'm not in the habit of putting a lens I'm less than happy with in the cupboard, it usually gets sent off to a dealer or hits e-bay😄! Think I said somewhere before I was sitting on the fence, still there I think. I just can't make up my mind about it, I look at results and keep thinking maybe if I had tried something different. Anyway, I got to the point after trying to get some shots of gulls this morning on the CL (usually pretty easy I find), that it bugged me enough to drop an e-mail to Sigma, will wait their response. I'm at the coast for a quick 24hrs and about to go try with the SL2, will see how that leaves me feeling. Hopefully a bit less frustrated. Maybe I should hold off on making that purchase for a while, not withstanding the fact that people seem to be getting good results. I do love the Leica 90-280 - but I do wish it was a bit lighter and longer reach. The Sigma seemed to be a good solution, even though slower. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivar B Posted April 6, 2021 Share #126 Posted April 6, 2021 This is a blackthroat which came to feed every day. Sigma 100-400 at 400mm, Panasonic S1R. I cropped quite a bit, but this appears not to be a problem. The lens is plenty sharp and the stablilization is effective. I missed some shots as the autofocus landed on the coconut - I should have used animal detection I guess. Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Markey Posted April 6, 2021 Share #127 Posted April 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Interesting thread . I`ve just returned a Pany 70 -200/4 (first time that I`ve returned a lens in forty years) so I`m still looking for something with a longer reach for occasional use. There`s no denying that there`s some lovely shots in this thread so it looks like I may need to take a gamble on the Sigma and see how it goes . I`ve always been a bird watcher rather than a bird photographer but I do take the occasional shot and a longer full frame alternative to my M lenses would also be useful for the SL2S. I couldn`t "justify" the Leica 90 -280 for my occasional usage and anyway its not long enough plus I`d prefer something lighter. Food for thought . By the way , thank you Rob for the benefit of your experience re the Pany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Daniel Only one reason really and that was that the OOF areas were very harsh . I tried to ignore it thinking that I`d work my way around it but .... Others commented on it as well so it wasn`t just me . It seemed sensible to return the product within the 30 days allowed and have a rethink . I`m still thinking :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marac Posted April 16, 2021 Share #133 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I was one the 100-400 bashers as my copy on loan from Sigma was showing very soft images especially at 400mm f6.3 and further that say 15-20m. I returned the lens very dissapointed and expressed my dissapointment but also pointed them to this forum to see how others can produce great images with similar set-ups. The lens I had on loan was loaned out to another person who also said the lens was soft & missing focus. The lens was taken into the service dept where they found the lens to be defective! For now I am shooting with a Nikon D7500 and a Nikon 200-500 with stellar results, I'm delighted. What a pity my first impression was distorted by a faulty lens, however, some other users here have expressed their dissapointment with this lens so maybe a QC issue?
