  • Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO Lens - Nikon

Description

Sigmas APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM is an advanced optical design of this 10x power high-performance zoom lens that covers the standard-to-super- telephoto range, now with the added advantage of Sigmas own Optical Stabilization which offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Sigma is the only one to offer OS for Sony and Pentax mount where the image is stabilized in the viewfinder if chosen. For many photographers, having an "all-in-one" lens is an absolute dream. Especially for nature photographers, the idea of a lens suitable for landscape photography at the short end of the zoom range, while still having enough reach for wildlife is a great option. Add to that, the ability to close focus on small objects in the field such as flowers and its the perfect backpackers lens. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide optimum color correction & sharpness throughout the entire zoom range and super Multi-Layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting and assures high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. With no need to change lenses, there is less chance of dirt or moisture entering the camera and fouling the imaging sensor.

    • Nice lens but attachment issues on Nikon D90

I have received this lens on June 23th and brought it with me on a trip to Santa Inez Valley on the 26th and later to Sedona on July 3th. Despite the impressive size I have not had significant problems with portability but since I mostly shoot handheld I have developed some shoulder pain the first day. I would expect this to improve over time with continued use. The problem is that I did not get to use the lens as much as I would have liked. After about a 100 shots on the 23th the lens caused an Error message flashing on the top LCD display of my Nikon D90. The first time it happened after I turned the camera on to take a shot. The error message would flash with camera on or off, and taking the battery out would not reset the camera to operable conditions. Pushing the shutter button would have no consequences. I mounted my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens on and the error message kept flashing; however, pushing the shutter button would restore the camera to normal. I tried the Sigma lens again on July 3th and it caused the problem while shooting. I pushed the shutter button and it went down only half of the way and Err started flashing. I was trying OS 2 at the time while riding along in a car. I was not able to see through the viewfinder, which suggests a mirror or shutter freeze. Later in the day I tried it again and after a few shots I got the Err message again. Sigma indicated an attachment issue and would like a tech to take a look at the lens. I am returning the lens to Amazon.com for a replacement. I hope I will have more luck with the new one because I really like the lens. Per Amazon customer service representative request, I am including a link to a video that recorded the last incident with the lens: [...] I am rating 4 stars as I could not truly review the lens as well as I could have without the issue and I would not like to skew the ratings with a partial review. Other than the issue described the lens performed very well in terms of sharpness and color rendition. OS was not as good as I would have liked but that could be due to personal error in dealing with an hefty lens. Only time will tell if I get a better copy. UPDATE 8/12/10: Amazon shipped a replacement on July 6. I did not have a chance to use the new lens heavily until a week ago, when I took it on a 5-days long trip. I shot 521 pictures. Before that I used it mostly for tests with and without a tripod (birds, newspaper, etc.) and for less than 50 shots. Well, here it goes: towards the end of my trip I did experience the ERR issue again. It happened only once and exactly as previously described. I had to twist the lens to release it and then twist it on again for the ERR to disapper. While the first lens's serial number was in the recalled list, the new lens is supposed to be *safe*. There was nothing done on my part that could have triggered the issue. I am starting believing that this massive lens is not adequate for small frame cameras such as the Nikon D90, particularly when hand-held. While I like the lens I am concerned that continue use might damage my camera. Would love to hear if others with small-frame cameras have experienced the same issue as Hernandez and me. ... show more

    • I am amazed

Review Image by Eric Zhang
I've had this lens for a few days and am very pleased with it. Given the fact that it's covering such a wide range, I didn't expect it to have very high IQ, yet I am pleasantly surprised. I measured it against my super sharp Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII with TC-17, both @ 340mm f/6.3 and f/8, and the IQ is about the same on a D300s, even though on a full frame D3s, the 70-200mm + TC-17 is slightly sharper. This is quite remarkable, because 70-200 f/2.8 VRII is one of the best lenses Nikon has ever made, and it can produce better pictures at 100mm than the highly regarded Tokina 100mm macro lens I own, and even when shooting macros, the 70-200 + TC-17 + Canon 500D combo is comparable to the Tokina 100mm. Image color is great, with vivid contrast. I had a few bird shots at fully extended 500mm and they turned out to be great pictures. CA is minimum too, only slightly visible when fully zoomed in, and no worse than my 70-200+1.7 combo. Focus is fast, even though it has always been a challenge for me when shooting sports and moving animals. Build is very solid. It's about the same length as the Nikon 70-200mm VRII without the hood, and about 20% wider. Maybe I am already used to the 70-200mm, this lens is not as heavy as I expected, maybe just a little heavier, and certainly handheldable. The OS certainly helps, and I can shoot handheld 500mm at 1/30sec with good image quality. The OS can be turned to 'off', '1', or '2'. When not shooting at high shutter speed, I used '1' only and I suppose '2' is for shooting from moving car on a bumpy road. I haven't tried manual focus yet. Zoom in and out is a little tight, and that might be the only negative I can find with this lens so far. It's not hard to get used to it, so not a big deal, and you can be sure that lens creeping will never be a problem, even though it still comes with a zoom lock. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. With an unmatched covering range of 50 to 500mm, it is a great lens for shooting kids sports, which is the main reason I bought this lens. With the high IQ, it's also a great lens for shooting birds. I think it's well worth the money. ... show more

    • Great Long Lens for the Price
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I bought this lens for my wildlife photography. I did a lot of research on this lens before purchasing. I shoot with a Nikon D700 so I concentrated my search results on use with this camera. The most common complaints were with poor focusing issues. One was with low light while the other dealt with slow focusing on moving subjects. I thought I could overcome some of the low light issues with the higher ISOs with the Nikon D700. The slow focusing would mean missed shots but without the reach, these were shots I wasn't getting anyway. So for me to make a purchase on this lens, I wanted to see photos taken with this lens in which the IQ was very good. Thanks to the people on Flikr, I was able to see photos taken with this lens on a Nikon D700. Many produced nice shots and I was able to look at their shooting data. That is what sold me on the lens. In the time that had the lens, I have been very pleased with my photos. I have been able to get sharp images with excellent Bokeh. As many have noted, the birds in flight shots are a challenge but I am getting better on anticipating the shot. This lens allows me to get much closer on the subject and a lot less cropping than I had to do with my 120-300mm. I have a 1.4 TC which I have used on the 120-300mm but the IQ is so much better with 50-500mm. Pros: 1. Great price for the money. 2. With the OS, able to get good photos hand held. Cons: The low light focusing has to be a concern for many. I have found that several of my photos are at 3200 ISO or higher. Without the Nikon D700, I don't think I would like the results without this sensor. My suggestion is to do your research and know the capabilities of your camera with this lens before purchasing. ... show more
