Sigma 150-600 Sport PRICE!

[DavidCannon]

Hey, first post:

I just checked B&H and the price is up for the upcoming Sigma 150-600mm Sport: $1,999. Thoughts? Will it be good enough to be double the price of the Tamron?

Hey,

the german UVP is about 2099€ for the SPORT´s model. :-[ Double Price from Tamron....we will see. I Know about a lot of problems with lenses from Sigma on Canon Cameras in case of Front-/Backfokus. Did anyone know something about the USB-Dock for the 150-600mm, or the Dock general? What is the function? Is it possible to make a justage for Front-/Backfokus by myself with it or what? Has anyone some exoerience with it?

I hope the Sigma will comes in a few months round about 1500€ in germany at reseller like amazon o.a.

Let's wait for review for review of both the 'Contemporary' that has a price similar to the tamron y the 'Sport' one that brings a higher price tag

The biggest risk is that most people who want a lens like this will have already bought the Tamron. The Sigma sports will have to be REALLY stellar to convince people who already have the Tamron to trade up. Also, those who do not have the Tamron are likely Canon L users who think the quality is not good enough, so again Sigma sports will have to be REALLY stellar to convince them to buy third party.

This might be true if it wasn't so hard to get the Tamron. I have been on a "notify when in stock" list for quite some time and if the Sigma were available quickly I might change my mind (assuming the picture quality was as good, I am sure the mechanical quality will be as good/better). Of course the kicker is if I would want to pay nearly twice the price.

does anyone KNOW when to expect these to hit the market ,the C MODEL doesn't even list the weight let alone the price ,there must be someone that knows a bit more than its coming soon

a functioning panning mode IS alone makes it worth double the tamron price but we need to see how it performs overall, I find the AF accuracy and tracking on the tamron pretty amazing to be honest so the sigma is really gonna have to step up if they want to ask the premium price.
