Wow!

The focal range and aperture are super impressive! The weight though…😬

If you’re on the sidelines on a monopod, no worries. But handholding could be a little more problematic

Whoaaaaaa that's really cool! F4 is a huge deal, and $6k is HALF of the Sony 600 F4.
Wonder if it can take 1.4 and 2x?

DPReview says only the L-mount version will be able to take Sigma’s official teleconverters

I wonder if this is the big surprise their CEO teased us with a while back?

Gym membership not included! Yeah, it looks great and at a great price, but being slightly longer and 25% heavier than the 600/4 makes me question all Sigma's "handheld" comments, unless you have arms and shoulders the size of a weightlifter. Then again, I guess anything can be handheld briefly before one's shoulders collapse!

Also makes me wonder if this marvel of engineering will overcome the max-15fps inertia that stops some people buying into Sigma.

I wish Sony would drop the fps restriction on 3rd party lenses. I understand why they have it, even more so now this lens is available. Still though…

Is it confirmed? And would more than 15fps burst rate be possible?

I'm hoping Sigma somehow could've managed to do more than 15fps for this very special lens at a very special price

I may be fine with the 15fps since I don’t like to shoot compressed raw anyhow and thus am capped at 20.

What a great release - if the autofocus works well this would be a huge winner!

At 15fps, it is too slow to take full advantage of that feature.

I love everything about this lens except the minimum focus distance and the weight. But, at that weight it is probably going to live on a monopod or gimbal and not be great for swinging around at up close fast moving objects anyway. What I'd really like is something closer to their 500mm f5.6 weight wise @600 with a better MFD and I think Id be good... or just an updated Sony 200-600 with the same trend they've done on the MKII vers of their other lenses, lighter, improved IQ etc

Take a look at new S1RII - with that lens that will be a pretty good wildlife combo. Maybe missing few Sony top of the line features. But at way more competitive pricepoint and with super vertisality. Very exciting.
