Pros:Professional construction, good sharpness, great versatility
Cons:Knowing what you're buying, nothing.
Opinion:I admit it: for physical movements I could no longer willingly use the fabulous Canon EF 500 f4 L IS USM (too heavy for handheld use and then it is not always possible to use the tripod...) so I looked for a lens that would replace it worthily. I was undecided between the SIGMA SPORT 60-600 and the 150-600 (with a shorter focal range and suitable for photographic hunting) but then I was convinced by the comparison tests in which the 60-600 always comes out victorious (albeit slightly) over its little brother. I still have some doubts about the real need for Sigma to design a 10X zoom: in fact, I believe that very few users will frequently use the minimum focal length while I am equally convinced that most of the photos in nature will be taken at 600mm. Maybe Sigma could have thought of a 150-600 mark II... As mentioned in the PROs, the construction is excellent: the zoom is free of backlash (even if this quality is paid for with a certain hardness of the ring) and the many configurations possible with the DOCK make it very versatile. Of course, it's not a feather but the weight is very balanced: by placing it on a table with a camera attached, it balances on the bracket... And then for my case saving over a kilo from the 500 F4 was an indisputable advantage (3870gr vs 2700gr). The optical performance is also very good thanks to the stabilizer that reduces motion blur (and which adds its own intervention to that of the stabilized sensors of the Canon R series). I have already posted some photos in a dedicated gallery, in which I focused mainly on the ability of the lens to follow the "orders" of the Canon R6-II in the pursuit of birds in flight and I must say that the overall impression is of a very good "collaboration" between lens and camera (obviously with the EF-RF ring to adjust the draft) I reserve further updates in the future, in particular verifying whether the R6-II works better with the Sigma or with the Canon EF 100-400 MK II with 1.4x duplicator (which makes it a 560 f8, therefore a comparable focal length) For now, the verdict is positive overall.
Pros:Well balanced, focal range, quality, stabilization, construction
Cons:Maybe the weight if carried for a long time
Opinion:I own the version for Canon for a few months, after a year of 150-600 sports (excellent slow but unbalanced forward), compared to the latter I found the 60-600 much more performing. The sharpness in my opinion is better (I use it on R6), the focus is very fast and the stabilizer works really well. Compared to the previous model it has a carbon composite hood and an improved bracket. The lighter hood makes it more balanced and much more usable freehand, the bracket, further away from the lens body, allows it to be transported with more comfort. Rated 9 for me
Pros:Function very well on Z + FTZ, stabilization, excursion, sharpness, versatility, minimum DISTANCE MAF, construction
Cons:Weight, block only at the focal lengths indicated on the barrel.
Opinion:Excellent optics for my needs, fabulous versatility never losing sight of quality and yield. In addition, there is also the possibility of customization with a separate accessory. Unique in the are the fact that the block is activated only at the focal lengths indicated and a weight not really "feather" but amply compensated by an infinity of merits at a low cost in relation to what you take home. It replaced the Tamron 150/600 g2 that on Z5 did not work until after firmware update, waiting for the release of a tele with Z mount, but I do not know if I will change it, it works very well.

Pros:Stabilizer, af speed, focal ranges, sharpness at all focal points, swiss arcane foot, tropicalization, price, minimum focus distance
Cons:Weight (however for a 10x with this quality there is everything), bracket with delicate paint
Opinion:An exceptional lens, combined with a 16-35 in the mountains covers a range of crazy focals. I have been owning it since December 2019, immediately appreciated both freehand and on tripods, and subsequently taken to the mountains, it has always given me great satisfaction. Certainly a little weighty as an optics, but on the other hand it is a 600mm with stabilizer, you can not expect better with this quality both constructive and in terms of photographic result! Another positive note is the minimum focus distance, of only 60cm at 200mm focal, but even at 400 it is very close, I have never tested how much, but enough to be able to make some macros not too pushed!
