I’ve never had a Sigma that could focus as fast as a Canon

Canon RF 100-500 for sure. Native is the way to go and the light weight is great.

RF 100-500
I think it’s amazing how they made it so lightweight. Not to mention how insanely sharp that lens is. And before people complain about it being F 7.1 just remember that 6.3 - 7.1 is only a third of a stop faster. But you get a
sharper faster lighter lens. With blazing auto focus and class leading image stabilization. With static targets you can use as slows as 1/200 of a second with good technique.

Canon always!

SIgma 60-660.
Had it with my 7D2 and kept using it with the adapters. The extra range on the wide end is beneficial to what I shoot and I like the ability to use drop in filters through the adapters for when I was to video slow motion with wildlife or prop planes. Other than the 80% focus area, I've noted only slight difference in the focus speed as compared to the RF100-500. With the Sigma being a Sport lens, it doesn't suffer with focusing as I have seen with the Sigma Contemporary line offerings

RF 100-500 all day long. The autofocus on the RF can't be matched by a 3rd party lens. I have both the RF 100-500 and Sigma 150-600C. No contest. However, the Sigma is a lot of bang for the buck.

[matthijs]

I’ve got the canon 100-500. It’s one of the best lenses I’ve ever owned

[Baseballkurt]

Had a 60-600 sport, changed to an R6ii camera and use the RF 100-500 now. No regrets on loosing the bit of range as the mirrorless camera is far superior to start with.

[JennaCee]

I already have the Canon so I have chosen....

[AronTeppert-lnew]

I made my trip at the land of Sigma and my choice is definitely the RF100-500

[bahaatamer]

Sigma 60-600 for me. Third Party lenses got my career started for me, and I have no plans in the close future to go native

[photoguy]

Just sold my Sigma 150-600, my first non-Canon lens in a long time. VERY disappointed with it. Picked up a 100-500L last week and couldn't be happier!

[csc-photo]

I'm not even in Canon and for sure I'd choose the Canon native lens over the Sigma.

[thinkingape]

That Sigma lens was designed for DSLR’s and can’t hold a candle the RF 100-500mm.

[WestVirginiaWildlife]

Canon hands down. Sigma lags behind significantly in autofocus accuracy and probably has worse image stabilization and is a little less sharp. Also the canon lens has a much closer mfd at the telephoto end which is very nice for other things such as bugs or amphibians.

[JohnStremble]

Returned my Sigma 150-600 C after it was slower to focus than my 20 year old 100-400 L. Immediately bought the RF 100-500 with no regrets. Faster, sharper, lighter, smaller. No chance I'd buy a Sigma 60-600

[CrisURace]

Canon for sure. Own both sigma and rf 100 500 and the latter is super sharp

[kyletownsend]

Sigma is for people who can’t afford Canon, there’s no argument about which one is better.

[matswolwjonsson]

Canon! I had the Tamron 150-600mm G2, but swapped it for the Canon.

[WhiteWeaselTT]

Never seen someone whos used both pick a sigma over a L series Canon
