Cor! Look at that!
Well, that was my reaction.
Say “hello big boy” to Sigma’s new APO 200-500 f2.8 ultra telephoto zoom lens.
Weighing in at 16kg (35-pounds), it’s the world’s first to offer a F2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length.
Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations and produce a high level of optical performance throughout the entire zoom range.
It has a dedicated F5.6 attachment that ensures autofocusing at 1000mm while an internal Li-ion battery powers the zooming and AF mechanics.
It will snap on to Sigma and Nikon mounts in June or lucky Canon’s get it in April for ¥2,500,000 or nearly $25,000.
