All-in-one lens, Good Image Quality, and affordable. Get 1 while they last I'm an amateur enthusiast that shoots sports (golf), action shots of grandkids, and occasionally backyard wildlife (birds/deer/squirrels). I've acquired a hosts of telephoto prime and zoom lenses but had to use multiple camera bodies in order to adequately cover a decent range. The Sigma 50-500 appears to be the solution to my range problem. If your goal is to capture photos having average/above average image quality the Bigma is a solid choice. When the need to capture those special moments with the goal of higher image quality I use a fast prime or telephoto lens. The Sigma is a very usable lens and as my skills develop I may one day be able to push the lens to its limits, but I doubt that a lens by any vendor will be able to cover such a wide range. I got the Bigma in mint, like-new condition and at a fraction of the price. I'll be using this lens for quite a while and I'm completely satisfied with its performance. I'm acquiring an arsenal of lens and as I develop I'm sure I'll be even more pleased with this exciting lens. This is not a Pro lens, so it's a prefect fit for me. It's is heavy but I find that to be a plus as the weight aids stability when hand-held. I plan to used it mounted on a monopod/tripod most of the time. Hope this helps!
Sigma 50-500mm I have been aware of the "Bigma" for a long time, yet I found that my combination of Nikon D4/Nikon 28-300mm to have been fine for the sports I shoot. Yet I finally decided to try the Bigma for the greater throw. I am extremely glad I did. I loved the lens immediately. My biggest concern was the AF, but I found it very fast, the iq is excellent, and having the extra reach is really helpful. I did not get the OS version because I only intend to use this lens on a tripod. I am extremely pleased.
Powerful. A bit heavy but manageable, very sharp. Kudos to Sigma.
