Sigma 500mm Review

Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN Sport Review: The Perfect Telephoto?

When I heard about the latest Sigma lens, the 500mm f/5.6 DG DN Sport, I wanted to revisit the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary. The new lens sounded ideal because it is unobtrusive, lightweight enough to handhold easily, and has the reach to capture these elusive Wolfdogs in their natural surroundings.

Sigma has long struck an exciting balance between offering high-quality alternatives to lenses the major camera makers offer and creating unique optics that offer something different from existing lenses. Sigma's two newest lenses both mostly fall into the latter category. The Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports lens is not wholly unique but fills an empty void in the E-mount and L-mount systems.

How Sigma Makes its Super-Tiny fp Full-Frame Cameras

Japanese YouTube channel Process X has delivered a great Christmas present to camera enthusiasts everywhere -- a nearly 12-minute long video showing how Sigma makes its fp cameras, the world's smallest and lightest full-frame interchangeable lens camera.

How Sigma Could Make the fp Great

I have always admired Sigma. It wasn’t regarded in the same league as it is today for its lenses until the Art series came out, but Sigma’s digital cameras have always been singular in design and purpose. The family-owned company has never been afraid to try something new, and honestly, that’s something we need to see a lot more of in the photography world.

Sony is on its second version of a pro-level 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master lens. Tamron recently released its second 70-180 f/2.8 G2 lens. A professional 70-200mm f/2.8 was one of the first lenses released by Panasonic for its Lumix full-frame bodies. And in all this time, where has Sigma been? Well, the wait is over. Sigma has finally released the 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports series lens, but was it worth the wait?
