Sigma 120-400 4.5-5.6 APO DG HSM
The Sigma 120-400 4.5-5.6 APO DG HSM is a camera glass that provides a zoom range of 120-400mm, making it a good option for those who need a telephoto lens. It has an auto focus feature that allows for quick and silent focusing. The lens has nine aperture blades, which ensures a good bokeh effect. The lens is quite heavy, weighing 1750 grams, so it is recommended to use its own lens bag. It has a 77mm filter diameter, which is a standard size for filters. The lens is 203mm long, so it might be bulky to carry around. Overall, this lens is a good option for those who need a telephoto lens with good optics and build quality.

The lens produces great image quality and sharpness, and the 2x Teleconverter adds even more opportunities to zoom in closer.

Sigma 120-400mm f.4-5.6 w/ OS Rules! Sigma has been putting out after-market lenses in the past 15 to 20 years which meet or beat the OEM lenses for which I have “invested” in, until recently. I have the best of Nikon lenses, to a price point. I admit, I’ve spent upwards to $1,700 for a Nikon lens, and have photographed with great success with them. But, I’m blown away as to the quality of the Sigma lenses in the EX and ART series. This 120-400mm is no exception. I’ve taken it out, in unheard of night conditions, and it performed like a champ. It was clear, sharp, had great contrast in low light, and produced. My sample photo is too large to attach, so find the photo on Flickr using
photos/lavonnehing/50557016696/in/dateposted-public to see for yourself. Amazing! This is a 5 Photo panorama, composite, shot with this lens. My camera was a Nikon D810, yes fantastic in and of itself, but I know what the combo of great glass and my camera body can produce. Wow!

Outstanding zoom lens I shoot a lot of surfers. A good zoom is mandatory, and this one is very good. Excellent image quality with my Nikon D5000. The image stabilization is very good.
The lens is heavy, but can still be hand held. The stabilization helps with this and the tripod attachment makes for a good hand grip.
Very solidly built lens. Buy one. If you don’t like it you should be able to easily sell it.

Awesome lens! For Landscape, sports and almost any outdoor photography I love landscape photography and approaching the object is sometimes hard. Love this lens its sharp, speed is not a problem using a tripod. I also bought the 2x Tele converter and opened a lot of new possibilities. Totally recommend both.
