Well guess what, yep this is not a
figment, this is the new Sigma 500mm
F4 DG OS HSM for Canon. This
isn't released yet, I stole it, no I didn't,
but they let me borrow it. If this video

Alright, so this guy's a 500mm
F4, of course it's a DG, that means is
for full frame. This one happens to be
for Canon, that's why I have a 5D Mark
V attached to it right here. But
remember you can also put it on a crop
sensor and you're now up to an 800mm
equivalent. It's a constant
F4 but you can stop down all the way
to 32 so you can guarantee your most
amount of depth of field. It has of
course one SLD lens, 2 FLD elements,
super multi-layer coating, it has a
hypersonic AF motor of course, but hey
they gave you manual override, full
manual override for us videographers. It
is optical image stabilization, you have
your image stabilization is anything
over here and you also have your custom
settings. You have your control for your
focusing, whether you want full or you
can limit it, and of course you have AF
and manual focus and even for manual
override, if you choose, to while you can
still do autofocus. And here you have the
capability of reset your AF functions and
locking it in place here with this
button for control and you can even turn
off your beep, so... wow, hey thought of
everything.
Of course you have a built-in tripod
collar which can be removed and clicked
off really easily so you can take it off,
you have a button here on the side,
this guy right here, that allows you to
remove it in a hurry, but I don't know, I
don't think I would even though this
only weighs a little bit over 7 pounds, I
think I would want this on a monopod or
a tripod. Of course it has a proprietary
lens hood,
why would it, It's huge! So this guy is
going to give you the protection that
you need because this is going to be the
way to protect your lens, this big giant
lens hood, it is reversible course, like
most of their series lenses are and it
is their sports design, so it is a global
vision lens. That means that you can use
their particular docking stations for it so
you can adjust image stabilization,
focusing parameters, everything you see
this giant front element you're not
going to find filters for that so they
thought of that also. You have a 46mm
drop in filter and you can
also get an optional what they call an
RCP 11 circular polarizer, which is meant
to be rotated while it's inserted in
here. It's very well constructed of
course magnesium alloy barrel, you have a
brass mount on the lens, dust proof,
splash-proof, so it's completely weather
sealed and it is completely compatible
with all their teleconverters out on the
market, so if you put the 1.4 now have a
700mm 5.6 and if
you put your 2x you're all the way up to
a 1,000 mm, which is an F8.
And of course it weighs 7.30
pounds so it's not as easy to carry as
its baby brother 150-600 but you know
what? I can see me going on the field and
be prepared, I am going to be going out on
the field and I'm going to be doing some
videos and some test shots with this guy.
They're going to have to pry it from my
cold dead hands before I turn it back to
Sigma. No, I will return it, but I'm
going to be going on the field so be
prepared, that's coming soon.
So, this is a sneak peek, first view at the
new Sigma 500mm F4.0
DG OS HSM lens for Canon. Happy shooting!
