Sigma 100 400 Vs 150 600. 6282017 On paper a 100-400mm f45-56 offers a relatively compact light and more versatile package in comparison with a 150-600mm f5-63.

5102019 I was saving for the 150-600 when the 100-400 came along. From published specs though the Sigmas weigh more than the Fuji if that matters–a lot more in the case of the Sport 150-600.
