Sigma has announced a super-telephoto lens: the Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS 'Sports'. Despite its focal length, it is relatively compact and lightweight. It will be available for Sony E-mount and cameras with L-mount.
This impressive lens is just 23.4 centimetres long and weighs no more than 1.4 kilograms. This makes it well suited to handheld use. The new stabilisation can compensate for up to 5 stops.
The 500mm f/5.6 can be used with both Sigma's 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. This provides an impressive range. There are several programmable buttons, and the lens is, of course, protected against moisture and dust.
The price is just as impressive as its length and weight. The RRP is 3,199 euros. This may seem like a lot, but for this focal length and maximum aperture it is a very sharp price. The lens will be available from March 2024.
