Praveen, I’m guessing your main need for this lens is wildlife and bird photography. If that’s the case, then that extra 100mm or 200mm will always come in handy. You’ll find yourself using 600mm way more than 200mm or 100mm.
I’ve been using the Sony 200-600 for over 3 years now, and before that, I used the Sigma 150-600 for about 1.5 years. The biggest limitation I faced with the Sigma was that Sony bodies cap the FPS at 11 when using any third-party lens. So even if you’re shooting with a Sony body that supports 30fps, you’ll only get 11fps with the Sigma. That makes it tough to capture action shots.
The second issue I had was autofocus hunting — Sigma lenses are noticeably slower to lock focus compared to the Sony 200-600. And lastly, I personally didn’t like the color rendering from the Sigma when shooting RAW using the in-camera Standard profile.
I’ve been really happy with the quality of the Sony 200-600 — it’s been rock solid for me over the years.

Hi Anirban, what’s your budget?

@STS and @archana-belekar Karnala has been very disappointing for me. I have been there twice and have hardly spotted any birds. Maybe I am going to the wrong spot in the sanctuary. Some guidance here will be really helpful. I will definitely consider Vasai Salt Pans. Also, there is this jewel of Navi Mumbai which is basically a jogging track surrounding the lake. I have actually spotted amazing birds along with flamingos.

Hi Anirban, you can go for National Gepgraphic NTGR004TCF or Manfrotto MT055PRO 3 with a 3way head or Ball head. Both are very Sturdy, and Alimunium made. It can go flat on the ground and has a capacity weight of above 10kgs. If you want to go for a Carbon fibre body, then you need to increase your budget. In that case, you can check out the LeoFoto Ranger series tripod. But along with the head it will be quite above 20k.
