Sigma APO 50-500mm F4-6.3 EX DG HSM Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

While image sharpness never hits tack-sharp levels, there are some aperture and focal length combinations which show very good results. Chromatic aberration is generally well-controlled. Distortion is kept to a minimum, but light falloff is an issue when used on a full-frame camera. The 50-500mm ƒ/4-6.3 may not be the best lens we've tested, but it's certainly one of the most versatile - and Sigma is still the only manufacturer that produces a lens with this sort of range. If you find yourself needing that level of focal-length flexibility, perhaps this is the lens you've been waiting for.

Any 10x SLR zoom lens (50mm x10 = 500mm) is going to be attractive, but one that ends with a 500mm focal length is going to get an especially high amount of attention. Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM Lens, for this reason, but not for this reason alone, is a very popular lens.
