As you know the new Sigma 300-600mm f/4.0 is an astonishing masterpiece that is NOT available as native Z-mount version.
Darek Dariuszbres tested the Sigma 300-600m lens on the Nikon Z9 via Megadap Pro and concluded:
Technological masterpiece , a top-shelf telephoto lens, which includes 500 4 and 600 4 class primes. Bright, fast, sharp throughout the entire range, universal, giving plastic frames, stuffed with the latest technologies and… above average sexy!
It’s not for Nikon? Pfff. I’ll permanently attach a megapad, solder it and it will be for Nikon.
There is also an advantage using this lens on a Nikon instead of on a Sony camera:
An interesting fact is that Sony limits the number of frames per second on some lenses, including the described Sigma, max 15 fps . Similarly, there are no teleconverters, they are only on the L-mount. I think this is a deliberate limitation to reduce competition, only Sony has such a schizophrenia. On Nikon, such limitations do not exist and if I give it 120 frames, that is how much it goes on the discussed Sigma, or some old lens from a century ago.
Cool 🙂
