The Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 APO DG EX is undoubtedly an atypical lens. This ultra-telephoto lens is often referred to as the "green monster", and its size and extraordinary weight represent it.
The Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG, telephoto zoom and f/2.8 aperture, combined with a telephoto end up to 500mm, makes this lens ideal for wildlife and sporting events, and is also an excellent choice for astronomy enthusiasts for astrophotography.
Introduced in 2008, the lens was the first telephoto zoom lens with an f/2.8 aperture at a focal length of 500mm.
This 200-500mm has an LCD that shows battery status, focal length, and focal length.
If you want to know the focal length and distance data when you use it, the LCD display attached to the lens will show you one by one. A 72mm filter can be mounted at the end of the lens, and a circular polarizer can even be used.
Later, he even tried to use the "Super 35mm" mode of his own fuselage to get... Focal length of 1500mm. Of course, the rendering of the bokeh may be less noticeable - thanks to the x2 extender, the aperture drops to f/5.6. However, it is still very pleasing to the eye
