Description
This is the optically-stabilized (OS) version of the vaunted Bigma -- no other lens gives you this much focal range in a package than you can handhold all day long. This lens is exactly the same as the Bigma, except it provides OS for improved shake reduction when shooting handheld. For those of you thinking it's amazing to rent a 500mm lens for such little money, please be aware that this lens is not even in the same league as a super-tele prime like the Canon 500mm f/4L IS. It's not as sharp, not as fast, and not as rugged. But if you're shooting in decent light the Bigmos is very sharp, and has pretty snappy auto-focus too. And if you want to shoot at 500mm handheld, it's the only game in town.
