## Description

This ultra telephoto zoom lens offers a fast aperture of F2.8 at the 500mm focal length and F5.6 at the 1000mm. It covers widely-used focal lengths from 200mm to 500mm and has a large aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. This lens can be used to create amazing image expression with various types of photography such as astrophotography, portraits, wildlife, sports. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and three ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for all type of aberrations. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides high image quality from the extremely large aperture. The lens hood, designed exclusively for this lens, blocks out extraneous light. A 72mm filter can be inserted at the rear of the lens, and a circular polarizing filter can be used in situ thanks to the ingenious internal rotation mechanism. The dedicated Li-ion battery BP-21 is used to power the zooming and AF operation. This battery is built in the lens barrel. For the convenience of the photographer, focusing distances and focal lengths can be viewed on the lens' built-in LCD panel.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it blend?**
A: it only blends in the northern hemisphere, and even then it only works when you put blender into the barrel of the lens

**Q: Is there an iPhone adapter?**
A: There is no iPhone adaptor yet, but Sigma does sell a special adaptor that allows you to mount this baby onto the Kodak Fun Flask 27X12 disposable camera.

**Q: Honestly, what is the difference between this, $25k lens, and a decent 200-500mm nikkor f/2.8 lens that costs 1/5 the price?**
A: One exists, the other one does not exist (200-500 f5.6 2stops difference)... That being said, the Nikkor is enough

**Q: Is it disposable?**
A: to a point- it needs to be disposed of at least 6 metres under the abyssal plain, encased in concrete, and under total secrecy to avoid pesky visits from UN and Greenpeace.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Focus hunts a lot.
*by J***M on April 23, 2021*

For whatever reason - this is my only lens that tends to hunt a lot while it tries to focus. When the subject IS detected (I predominately shoot macro shots of insect genitals typically from a mile+ distance) the recoil on this guy renders any shot almost completely useless (non crane held mind you).Couple that with the fact that you MUST leave this lens on your body or you will lose it due to the color scheme of the lens (camo green - really?), and the fact I can only shoot this with earplugs (EXTREMELY LOUD - do not shoot past community noise ordinance or near a window/mirror) there is a lot to be said regarding the R&D of this lens.Outside those small cons - overall I’ll call it a decent lens.ONE LAST MENTION:Do NOT take to any ceremonial event - period. I was hired for a wedding and straight up blew the wig off the priest, made the bride cry, blew out (as is hanging outside the ear canal/dangling on the lower lobe) the ear drums of the couple I crouched next to (did not think to make sure people around me had ear protection), broke my chin, bruised my ribs and bent my monopod in half just for a “kiss shot”.TRIPOD at the very least. At ALL times.

### ⭐⭐ You get what you pay for.
*by R***R on May 20, 2022*

For only $26,000, obviously this isn't going to be the top of the line lens. You get what you pay for on such a small budget.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Saved me!
*by A***  on May 27, 2020*

I purchased this with the optional man-pad anti-aircraft/tank option for when I shoot in war torn areas for self protection. All in all, really rugged, and I use the m60 turret on my Jeep to mount this bad boy.I zoom around a fair amount and image stabilization is tough which affects image quality. I have not found a gimbal that will hold this yet although I am in conversations with NASA regarding their stabilizers for their cameras.I have used the man-pad anti tank once on an approaching vehicle that was engaging my new at about 2000 meters. All I can say is wow. The only thing I found was an axel and a few other scraps. The photo was not impressive as it simply showed the projectile smeared in flight and then an explosion of some sort. Needless to say the shooting stopped.What I would like to see in future iterations is a rail mounting system to potentially mount a ma-deuce for closer encounters and potentially laser rangefinders. I also would like to see a blue tooth adaptor to control all the features from my iPhone as clicking off the man-pad rounds is a bit scary up close and personal like. Maybe a hydraulic lens shield that snaps down to cover the lens as I find myself having to clean rocket propellant or maybe just buy some throw away Uv filters. Finally, be careful if you do choose the man-pad options as the ITAR rules are important considerations. At over 30k with options, a bargain if you find yourself in Afghanistan during a firefight. The green is also easily adapted to camo colors.
