| SIGMA 500mm F/4 GD OS HSM Sports Sigma Fit Lens Features in Detail |
| The flagship lens of the Sports line Photographers typically choose a prime lens when they require top image quality. However, the new flagship lens of our Sports line, the SIGMA 500mm F4 DG OS HSM fulfills Combining top-level optical performance with functionality for challenging shoots, SIGMA 500mm F4 DG OS HSM - Sports sets a new standard for high-performance telephoto lenses. Enhanced dust/splash-proof construction and available exclusive Protector The front of the lens features a water- and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and helps prevent oil from sticking to the surface. This feature is particularly useful when shooting in a drizzle or near ocean spray. The lens is compatible with the exclusive SIGMA Protector LPT-11 (sold separately), which effectively helps prevent damage to the lens during shooting and maintenance. Magnesium alloy barrel To help minimize the weight associated with a hyper telephoto lens, the lens barrel is Both lightweight and tough, this alloy contributes to the outstanding maneuverability of SIGMA 500mm F4 DG HSM - Sports. Carbon fiber hood The lens hood is made of carbon fiber, which is both lightweight and strong. In fact, the entire lens is designed to be lightweight for outstanding performance in tough shooting conditions. Tripod socket with 90° click stops Since photographers often prefer to use a hyper-telephoto lens with a monopod or tripod, the The click position may be canceled by turning off the "de-clicking" switch. The lens also comes equipped with a dedicated strap for the tripod socket, making it easy to carry equipment without undue stress on the camera mount. The lens incorporates two FLD and one SLD glass elements, while the optimized power distribution helps minimize spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. The optical system also effectively minimizes transverse chromatic aberration, which can affect the edges of the shots taken in the telephoto range. In addition, image quality remains exceptional when the lens is used with a SIGMA Tele Converter (sold separately). OS system with acceleration sensor and new Intelligent OS algorithm Two OS modes are available:
In Mode 2, the acceleration sensor teams up with the Intelligent OS and its updated stabilization algorithm to deliver effective stabilization while you move the camera horizontally, vertically, or diagonally regardless of the position of the lens. This feature helps ensure effective panning and outstanding capture of moving subjects. AF function switch with preset AF modes The AF function switch allows you to set your own autofocus specification. The lens can remember the focus position of your choice or turn off AF until it is needed. Manual override incorporated to make two full-time manual modes switchable. In addition to AF/MF, MO (Manual Override) is incorporated as one of the options of the focus mode switch. By setting it to the MO position, it switches to manual focus by rotating the focus ring even Quieter and Faster "Optimized AF" SIGMA Tele Converters, mount Converters, and USB DOCK make possible customization and flexible adjustment for convenience or a specific purpose. The addition of SIGMA's TELE Converter TC-1401 or TELE Converter TC-2001 produces a AF 700mm F5.6 hyper-telephoto lens or a AF 1000mm F8 hyper-telephoto lens respectively. * When shooting subjects with low contrast or luminosity value, focus may not be spot on the subject. SIGMA USB DOCK - Customizable to your needs Customization including firmware updates, focus adjustment, setting of full time With this lens, custom mode that can be set depending on the photography situation is Through custom mode, it is possible to set AF speed, focus limiter where desired focus range can be adjusted, and OS where one of the patterns for optical stabilizer can be selected from "Dynamic View Mode", "Standard" and "Moderate View Mode". SIGMA Sports Lenses While offering sophisticated optical performance and expressiveness, the SIGMA Sports line lenses deliver high action-capture performance, enabling photographers to get the exact shots they want. With these lenses, fast-moving subjects even at distance can be well captured. This Another major feature of the Sports line lenses is their wide range of customization

Our Verdict
This 500mm lens from Sigma with f/4 max aperture is the ideal lens for those looking to shoot something that is far away from them - sports, wildlife, the moon, the stars, the meaning of life.
Top quality optics accompany a high quality build that is designed to withstand the rigours of shooting in environments where the elements (or in the case of wildlife, the subjects) may not treat your lens with kid gloves, regardless of how you treat it personally!
A new generation hyper sonic motor is incorporated to improve upon autofocus, and the 2-mode optical stabilisation system brings a level of customisation to your shooting - which can be customised further when combined with the SIGMA USB dock (sold separately).
This lens can also be combined with compatible SIGMA teleConverters, which will allow you to turn this hyper-telephoto lens into an ultra-super-hyper-telephoto lens.
