This Sigma lens otherwise known as the BIGMA lens is a fantastic zoom lens for those photographers wishing to get closer to the action whether it is sports, wildlife or even landscapes. It is a brand new lens, have only had it for about a few weeks and it is a Canon eos fit. No scratches or dents and glass element is very clean.
Only reason for sale is that I'm upgrading to a canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS which is faster in focusing and good for hand held shots whereas the Bigma must be used on a tripod as it weighs a whooping 1.8Kg. Not a discussion weight but rather personal utility.
Major lens features:
* New DG optical coating for reduced flare on digital SLR sensor
* High magnification zoom lens with a 10:1 zoom ratio, from standard
50mm to 500mm ultra telephoto focal length
