Sigma 500mm f/4 DG OS HSM Sport

Pros: Sharpness- even at long distance. Great colors. Price. Lens hood. Min. focus distance is class leading.

Cons: Tripod foot.

Opinion: Used this lens (Canon EF mount) for 2 years with Canon 5D markIV and Fujifilm X-T3 (Fringer Pro2 adapter) and always Sigma 4001 x 1.4 converter. Shooting from the same place and the same the objects (Northern gannets birds at about 250 meters in heavy, stormy conditions and Canon 5D IV, the picture quality very similar to other shooters using Nikon 600/4 VR and Canon 600/4 II without converters. With the X-T3 body I think there is even a slight edge in overall picture quality over Nikon 600/FL with D500 and Canons 600/4 II with 1 DX II. (cropped images) Of course there is a lot of other circumstances around. Since 20 years i always use the excellent Vinten professional Vision 10 tripod and fluid head modified and wood stiffened. Weights almost 10 kg and has even a camera body support rig included to avoid any movement or mechanical stress to lens connections.
