So do I, whenever it is possible :)
With regards to Sigma, I had the chance to test-drive two of them, both from the Art series.
50mm f/1.4
and
24mm f/1.4
with my Canon5D Mark III body.
I felt in love with the 50mm, the images were so sharp and the focus was exactly where I wanted it to be.
However, the 24mm was a total disaster. It was during a one-week photo-trip to Greece, so imagine my frustration to have had to delete almost the half of the files on my return.
After that for some time I was personally asking all the people I know who use Sigma, and all they told me they had troubles with their lenses, some had to go calibrate them to their bodies. My stat showed 50% trouble in total with lenses. This was about 6-7 years ago though, so I guess Sigma improved that ratio since.
Maybe I was just lucky with my lenses 😉
I have the 105mm macro lens and I love it, although I might switch to a RF lens one day, but just because I don't want to use the adapter anymore.
And I have had the 100-400mm and the 150-600mm Contemporary lenses. Both were great lenses, but the 150-600 was too heavy and I changed the 100-400 for the RF version from Canon because of the adapter and the weight because I take the long lenses always with me, just in case.

That's an excellent point, actually. I sometimes leave my 100-400 mm even when traveling abroad, as it weights almost 2 kg! :D Walking ten kilometers per day with a ten kg backpack for a few consecutive days is too much :)

My RF 100-400mm weighs only 635 grams and that's great, but my backpack is still often over 15 kg heavy because due to the lighter lens I take other things with me which I often even don't need 😅

Tell me about it :) I often make fun of myself doing the same over and over again! :D

I always have two power banks and other gear with me, although I hardly ever need these. I always have too much to drink and to eat or additional clothes with me and this adds to the weight 😅

This is what I don't like the most about mirrorless.
I have Canon EOS M5 and it "eats" two batteries a day. The worse aspect of that is that when I finally arrive at my place to rest, I cannot go to bed before the first battery is fully recharged so I put the second one to charge.
While with my EOS 5D Mark 3, one battery sometimes last for 3 days until it needs recharging.
Not sure how the situation is with the R series.
But for M5, it is a disaster...
!PIZZA
The batterie of the EOS R last about 300 images and two batteries are most times enough for me for a day or two. I always have 4 batteries (3rd party) with me and I recharge them as soon as I'm home, but I also could recharge them in my van if a trip takes longer.
