Sigma APO 200-500mm f/2.8 Full-Frame Format Ultra Telephoto Zoom Camera Lens

The legendary Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 is the first large-aperture ultra telephoto zoom lens that has an F2.8 aperture at the 500mm focal length, and F5.6 at the 1000mm focal length. This legendary telephoto zoom lens gives the photographer brand new powers of expression in all kinds of photography such as sports, portrait and nature photography.

Sigma’s APO 200-500mm F2.8 with its specially designed attachment mounted has ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass for maximum correction of aberrations. Ideal for fast moving nature subjects and sports such as surfing, polo and soccer and as it excels at tracking fast moving objects it is a great surveillance lens.
