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.

Please check if your camera has the animal eye tracking feature. And keep the focus point on expanded tracking mode.

Hi Abhishek, I am just curious to know the usefulness of Atomos as I have heard about it but never researched or know the exact use of it. Can you elaborate?

Hi, don’t go for the Wildcraft bags. It’s not for 200-600. Trust me, I have used it. I had upgraded to Vanguard BF50. It’s convenient, with enough space to hold multiple lenses and accessories.

This is something even I want clarity on, any help from other members or @sudhir_shivaramyahoo-com would be appreciated.

Hi Sanjiv, a kit lens, will never give you the sharpness of a prime, but having said that, there are excellent zoom lens available in the market—especially the fixed aperture ones. The choice of lens also depends on what you are shooting. For example I mainly shoot birds and wildlife; hence, I have invested in a telephoto and never upgraded from my kit lens for the standard focal length. I find that pretty useful. So, I feel it all depends on your choice of shooting and what you want out of it.

“Thank you very much, sir. This could be an amazing addition. I had no idea that there is equipment that can allow me to record the scene while taking still images. This can be really handy if I ever decide to make videos.”

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.
