Pros:sharpness and many focal range .. excellent focus and the highlight is the problem of not having to continue to put and remove the tc.
Cons:surely the weight for the rest I do not think have others ..
Opinion:5.6 is already in the lens crystal clear even at 800mm (see my photos and see) personal opinion having read many reviews about the Bigma does not need to work very closed to 800mm aperture, focal length to 800mm and 5.6 the problem is that the detail and super but if you focus on the eye of a bird beak is already blurred, so if you search for the extreme sharpness of the entire subject better to use it to f8 or oltre.usandolo freehand with time 1/400 (also 1/200) you can shoot, but after half an hour destroys you, camera shake with a good head there is nothing to go quiet and will pay off since subito.non hesitate to contact me for clarification in .. (having did try to holders of 500 or 600 f4 were immediately amazed at the talents of the baby :-))
Pros:First of all is zoom and with a focal length remarkable, then is decidedly high image quality.
Cons:Weight coating quality.
Opinion:I had it for 2 years this objective and for purely economic reasons I had to sell. And I hated you so much. More than a lens, un'obice! The quality is super up to 400, excellent up to 750 and sufficient to 800. Given the chance, 800 becomes great if diaphragmed to f11. For me it was impossible to use it freehand, not so much the weight, but for the fact that, as the weight shifted primarily on front lens and since I am not a giant, when in my hand I could not look through the viewfinder of the D300 . :) So, to give the best of itself, is a GREAT cavalletto.Io head as I used with great satisfaction the Photoseiki. At this juncture, then, does not feel the lack of stabilization. It is definitely not to "run and shoot" but more to hide. I find delicate, as for other Sigma, the opaque coating. And 'even multipliable, but I never dared. If it is a useful My advice to Sigma, I would say that this objective should be to replace worthily out a 350-700 f3 ,5-5, 6 OS HSM with a maximum weight of 4.8 kg and the quality of the Bigma. Hello
