Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS - $2,398.00
BUY - https://bhpho.to/3kBoCyv
Weighs - 3.08 lb and is 205 mm (8.07″) long
Works with Teleconverters for more reach
Buy if you value portability and the close focusing options plus the 100mm wider than 150.
not that the other lenses are not but I think of the 100-400 as a very functional portrait lens.

Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS -$1,998.00
BUY - https://bhpho.to/2Stm0sn 1.4x Teleconverter - https://bhpho.to/3joxFDF
Weighs - 2115 g (4.66 lb) and is 318mm (12.52” long)
This is an impressive lens and many of my Sony friends that spend time shooting birds and wildlife love this lens and get great results and with teleconverters too.
Buy this lens if you want the most reach you can get at a reasonable price. But it is heavy and I find it front heavy - works best on gimbal.

Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD $1,399
BUY - https://bhpho.to/3xhzkyI
Weighs 1724 g (3.80 lb) and is 210 mm (8.27″) long
I really enjoyed using this Tamron on my Alaska Photo workshop but I struggle to recommend it over the new Sigma - it’s slower with f/6.7 at 500mm but it does give you a good range in a lighter 20% lighter and shorter lens.

Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens for Sony E $1,499
BUY - https://bhpho.to/3kAbxFs
Weighs 2100 g (4.63 lb) and is 266 mm (10.47″) long
Great feature set at a very compelling price. Yes, it’s getting bigger and heavier but the build quality and image quality provided at this price is well great.

Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS $949
BUY - https://bhpho.to/3viJxcK
I think you should add the price of the tripod collar at $130 Because it doesn't come with bringing this to $1079
Weighs just 1135 g (2.50 lb) and is 197 mm (7.76″) long
By far the lightest and smallest zoom lens in this group- image quality is still very good but you do start to see some autofocus differences between this lens and the others, it is not as fast and it is a bit slower with a max aperture at f/6.3 at 400mm- I am a little more reluctant to recommend this lens for wildlife and action but I love using telephotos for landscapes and this lens does just fine there.

Let me know which lens you would choose. Thanks!
