Recommendation on Long Telephoto Zoom Lenses


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!
I'm looking for a good telephoto lens with a zoom range of about 100 - 600mm (more or less). EF Mount.
I want to use the lens on a Sony E-Mount and Bmpcc Camera via Speedbooster.

The following lenses have caught my eye, since they seem to have a good zoom range and optical stabilization, plus they are not too pricy:
- Sigma 50-500mm (http://www.lenstip.com/244.1-Lens_re...DG_OS_HSM.html)
- Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary Version (http://www.lenstip.com/434.1-Lens_re...roduction.html)
- Sigma 150-600mm Sports Version (http://www.lenstip.com/417.1-Lens_re...roduction.html)
- Tamron 150-600mm (http://www.lenstip.com/403.1-Lens_re...Di_VC_USD.html)
- Tamron 150-600mm G2 (https://www.amazon.com/Tamron-150-60...amron+g2+canon)

My favourite one seems to be the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary. But I heard that the focus ring is a bit tiny and akward to use. So I'd rather go for the Sports version.

But since I haven't found that many videos on the web about it's cinematography capabilities, I wanted to get some information first hand.
Do you guys have experience with any of the listed lenses? Any recommendations or advice?
(Considering image stabilization, f-drop during zooms, focus behaviour...)

Thanks,
Daniel
