Amazed at the cost vs versatility value; started using this with a Nikon D850 covering HS, college & pro sports and it impresses. The range coupled with the D850’s image quality means I can cover the field from one location. Takes one shot at 9fps for the focus to snap. It’s allowing me to capture moments that I’ve wasted when usually switching cameras. I’m not paid for this review; we got this glass around August and now I use one camera + a mirrorless with stock 24-70mm in case the really wide view is needed. But this will stay in focus during day and night high school games when the ISO gets bumped to 25,000 (25K ISO); invest in one camera with a good image chip and you can’t go wrong. I was issued a 200-400mm Nikkor & returned it to the pool. Ive used the 200-500mm, 80-400mm Nikon glass & in all honesty I won’t return to those again. For Nikon users: the lens barrel focuses and zooms OPPOSITE of NIKKOR lenses. My lens gear: 28-300, 70-200, 24-70, 50mm primes. It’s easy to adapt to both ways of focusing and zooming. I’m all-in with this lens with 35yrs newspaper experience under my belt. If our team goes into post season I’ve earned the right to travel all the way to the Super Bowl. Every week after covering Baltimore I rave to the staff how awesome this lens is. Mine was sub-$2K WOTH the TC-14 converter. It loses 3D tracking with the D850 but I’ve shot it at night NFL games, little problem, but not really essential to actually use the converter. I’ve heard that the mirrorless cameras take well to the Sigma but I’ve not tried the Z6 with it. It’s great for spot news as well. No issues after over 4mos of regular use. Read full review

Very nice lens, robust and weather sealed. Awesome 10 X optical zoom with sharp image quality all the way through. Image stabilisation is also a great addition. It's not the lightest of lenses, it is a well built 60-600mm sports after all. It comes with a robust movable tripod mount, nice lens hood and case. I highly recommend this Sigma lens.
