Re: Pre-order: Sigma 100-400/5-6.3 DG DN OS FE ($949!)
Here are two recent shots that I haven't really processed yet. On the A7RIV.
Haze is always a huge problem in the Bay Area so please keep that in mind, but the Sigma is nice and sharp, even on the A7RIV. I'd call it sharp edge-to-edge with good contrast. I haven't shot it much at 400mm at infinity due to smoke winter haze around here.
I have not owned the 100-400 GM, but judging from other's images online it's not far off if I had to say. I did however own both the Sigma 100-400 and 150-600 in Canon EF mount and it's a good bit better than either. The lens is good enough that I barely feel the need to stop down, even for landscapes, it's more a habit because I always used to.
First shot was on a tripod (but without collar, just L-Bracket :/ ), Golden Gate Bridge, 135mm, f/7.1, 1/125s.
The second set of pictures is a quick comparison shot of the Sigma 100-400 to the Tamron 28-200 while hiking up the hill. The Tamron looked decent actually - until I saw the Sigma 100-400 in comparison on a computer, huge difference. San Francisco, 200mm, f/6.3, 1/200s, handheld.
