Do you have any proof or links that discuss how the IS shuts off when on a tripod with the Sony 100-400? I've never heard this

Does anyone here know exactly how the ring is attached? Could it be dremeled off? *gasp* I'm sure that may not even reduce the resale value for many photographers that have no intention of ever ...

I believe the large "foot" piece comes off but the collar itself and a small nub at the bottom are fixed

Anyone performed or seen a comparison between the Sony 70-200mm GM and Sigma 70-200mm Sport at 200mm f2.8?

By foot, you mean tripod collar, correct? My understanding is that the foot itself can be removed

It's mentioned in this review here: https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Sigma-100-400mm-f-5-6.3-DG-OS-HSM-Contemporary-Lens.aspx "Dynamic View Mode – This mode offers a recognizable OS ...

Thank you for the info. Btw I'm not sure if you've already adjusted this but for me the stabilization in the 100-400mm wasn't great at first (looked shaky through the EVF). But changing the IS ...

Do you find the 70-200mm performs better than the 100-400mm? I own the 100-400mm and while I love the lens I find it can't always keep up tracking moving subjects (with the MC-11 + A7RIII)

So the lens can track effectively at 200mm f2.8 + A7RIII  +MC-11 with a subject moving towards you? Have you tested it with faster subjects? (Or could you do a running test towards the camera?) Thanks

With which body? I'm looking into using a 70-200mm for similar purposes but can't find any info on the Sigma's tracking ability with the A7RIII + MC-11. Has anyone performed a test with a subject ...

Any idea about other markets? I'm assuming all of the ones regularly sold on Ebay that receive positive feedback must have English or there would be floods of returns and complaints

With the grey market A7RII(s) Sony added a warning message when you would use the camera in NTSC mode instead of PAL every time it booted up. There was a "hack" that easily removed this but an ...

Awesome shot. What part of the everglades was this? I'm thinking about heading down that way and checking them out. The anhinga trail seems to be the one that most people talk about

The next best bet with fast AF and a reasonable reach is the FE 70-300mm. Should be able to get one used for under $1000. I believe that and the GM are the only fast autofocusing lenses I'm aware ...

If aperture is not a concern then the 100-400mm GM + 1.4x or 2x teleconverter is almost certainly the best choice for most sports/wildlife, excellent resolution, wide range and fast AF. I've been ...

Nobody said expensive lenses compensate for lack of imagination. Nobody said the 85mm f1.8 is a poor lens (I love mine). But there are other great options available and that's what's being ...

I agree about paying more attention to variables but the lens rendering does influence the image and it's silly to infer that it doesn't. This is the Sony E-mount forum. Location, composition, etc ...

I'd love to see a side by side comparison of these lenses with some different backgrounds and subject distances. I recently picked up the Sigma 135mm f1.8 (mostly for outdoor full body) and love ...

Wasabi batteries are currently $29 on Amazon. To assume they get close to half the cycles of a Sony battery is a huge assumption and not in line with my experience with either DSTE or Wasabi ...

I don't see anything wrong with maintaining high standards and demanding excellence. Some photographers aren't taking photos for "the average person".
