2 new Sigma 150-600mm lenses
#7
Do they extend? It isn't obvious to me from the pictures either way.

 

Even if it extends with zooming, the changes of hitting anything aren't significant. Chances are if you need 600mm, the subject isn't exactly an arms length away. If you hit anything closer to you, that's just being clumsy and would be a risk with any lens.

 

I think almost all longer focal length zooms extend on zooming. Anyone know of another 4x zoom (lets say, maximum focal length at least 200mm) that does not extend? I suspect the ones that don't extend are short zoom ratio or are shorter focal length (e.g. 24-105L, 200-400L).

 

The only case I would be concerned about hitting things is on a macro lens. I had the old Tamron 90mm in the past, and that extends a lot on focus with not a lot of working distance to start with, so I did end up pushing the subject many with that!
