Bigma with OS

two new lenses with Sigma's "Optical Stabilizer"

Sigma APO 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM

Sigma APO 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM

Hi

Now on DPreview

All the best

Keith

I want this one:

Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 EX DG
Pre-PMA 2008: As part of Sigma's bumper lens launch, it has announced what might be the ultimate wildlife lens. Sigma claims the APO 200-500 f.2.8 is the world's first lens to offer an f/2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length. It comes with an "attachment" to give users a handy 400-1000mm f/5.6 option. The lens (which is cosmetically reminiscent of a piece of military hardware) weighs nearly 16kg and uses a dedicated Li-ion battery to provide power for focusing and zooming. It will be available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mounts. (00:00 GMT)

But, don't think I want to lug it around

Any idea what prices will be? I'm really interested in that 120-400mm lens. I'll wait to see the reviews.

Bright yellow. To match the JCB you will need to support the lens.

All the best

That's an easy choice. Just make sure it matches the color of your truss, Virginia.

Probably because the other lenses that fit near those form factors weren't EX either. Their EX "pack" adds no small bit of weight, so I'm just pleased to see that OS and HSM aren't mutually exclusive features anymore.
