(4 customer reviews)

The Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX DG APO is a high-quality camera glass that can be used with different camera mounts. It has a great focus and produces smooth and pleasing bokeh. You can choose to use it with autofocus or manual focus, depending on your preference. The lens is made up of several lens elements that are coated to reduce reflections and improve image quality. The lens is well-built and can last a long time if taken care of properly. It has a large aperture, which allows for good light transmission and better performance in low light conditions. Overall, the Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX DG APO is a great option for photographers who need a high-quality super telephoto lens.

Positives:
This lens is simply outstanding! It is well-built, sturdy and feels extremely sturdy in hands. The image quality is superb, with super-sharp details, excellent contrast, and true-to-life colours. The autofocus system works effectively and quickly, which is always a plus when you’re trying to capture a fast-moving subject. The lens also offers good bokeh, producing a beautiful blur in the background.

Negatives:
As is the case with most long lenses, this one is quite heavy, weighing in at around 3.8 kg, so a good tripod is a must-have accessory. Additionally, the lens is a bit pricier than some of its competitors; however, it is justified given its performance.

Conclusion:
All things considered, if you’re looking for an excellent quality 500mm telephoto lens, the Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX DG APO is a superb option. It’s well-built, and the image quality is simply fantastic, making it perfect for wildlife photography, sports photography, and any other long-distance, fast-paced shooting. The drawbacks are minor compared to the benefits, and I would highly recommend giving this lens a try!

Optical design

Has 9 aperture blades, with this amount of aperture blades you will be satisfied with the result. Great choice mainly for good light conditions

Physical characteristics

349 mm long, with this size carry only if you use it. Weights 3150 grams so it is a heavy lens, consider using its own lens bag. With a lens filter diameter of 46 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options.
