Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG Telephoto Zoom lens—A Lens for Everything

        Expensive lenses are notorious for two things: A skyrocketing price enough to purchase a small house or a brand new car, and a humongous size that can cause heads to look in your direction. This lens is not an exemption. It is very pricey and big for that matter. But the good thing is, it is not as expensive as other lenses and despite its size, it is surprisingly easy to use either handheld or mounted on a tripod. This lens is no other than Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG Telephoto Zoom lens.

        If some expensive lenses are made for a special type of photography only, then Sigma 200-500mm is a different case. It is a telephoto zoom lens that can be used for astrophotography, taking portraits, sports and ideal for wildlife as well.

       Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass and three Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) glass elements offers an excellent corrections for all types of aberration to the photograph. Due to extremely large aperture, flares and ghosting is possible, but because of the super-layer lens coating used, these unwanted elements are reduced.

        For better photo capturing, the lens hood which is designed exclusively for this lens only, helps block out excessive light. A 72mm filter can also be inserted at the back of the lens, plus a polarizing filter can be used, big thanks to the ingenious internal rotation mechanism.

        Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG Telephoto Zoom lens is Canon camera compatible so you can use it for your Canon cameras. There is also a similar lens compatible with Nikon brands.

        A dedicated battery can be found inside the body of the lens to support and power the zooming and AF operations. It is a Li-on battery BP-21 which can give the lens the power for quite some time.
