Sony A1 + Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens

[Tim Mayo]

Sigma kindly lent me their new 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS Sports lens for Sony E-mount to try out. After using it for a week it's definitely a lens that I will be purchasing. At only 1365g it's 750g lighter than my 200-600 which makes it much more comfortable to use. I really hope that Sigma bring out an RF version of this lens at some point, as I'm pretty sure it would sell extremely well. Other than cropping to my liking and adjusting the white balance no other post processing has been applied to these images.

Hi Tim,

A fantastic set of images to showcase the tech - the hawk shots are absolutely sublime (well done)!

Cheers Phil. The red kites are always good fun to shoot, these were taken at Bwlch Nant Yr Arian near to Aberystwyth. I'd love to see this lens developed for the RF mount. That said, any RF lens from Sigma would be nice right now!
