Good super telephoto Convenient focal length, well balanced and easy handling.
Sharp and clear Pictures taken from same location with 120/300 f2.8 were good but this lens makes them even sharper and clearer...Love this lens !!!
Loved the old 50-500mm, Love the new one even more! The Optical Stabilization works beautifully. The enables 1) lower light shooting, 2) hand held shooting in more situations, 3) the 2X tele-extender, which must be used with manual focus, is usable with this lens! The sun shade is improved since the older model. Be aware that you should use only Sigma brand filters with this lens, even "sky light", or you can get very bad internal reflection problems.
