Well, you got yourself a brand-new D500
but you want to use Sigma lenses, you
even have some of the older lenses, not
the new Art or Global Vision lenses, you
have something like an 18-250 for your
Nikon camera. Will it work or do I have
to go ahead and put all this stuff on
craigslist. Hi, this is Izzy again from

So you finally went ahead and did it, you
upgraded to one of their professional
series or prosumer, honestly I think it's
more professional oriented crop sensor
cameras, their new D500, but guess what
you still had lenses that you work with
your older design Nikon like for example
the 18-250 from Sigma. This is not a
Global Vision lens but guess what
it's a great all-around travel lens for
a camera like this. This already a big
enough body to begin with so maybe
you're traveling and you just don't want
to walk around with a slew of lenses so
this is why this lens is very popular
18-250 nice macro capability, lightweight
and guess what focus is perfectly with
this camera as a matter of fact let's
try the live view with the touch focus.
So mean it's in a dark environment but
it's doing it.
Yeah, it's actually focusing by me
touching on the screen. So if I go ahead
and activate the focusing system with
the touch focus its doing it for me so I
can go ahead and lets see if it will even
take a picture. Here's the touch shutter,
there it goes, even that works so there you
have it you can work with your smaller
all-around zoom from Sigma, but let's say
you did step up your game and you also
jumped in for that brand new 50-100
for crop sensor. This is their Art series
1.8 lens, this is a great lens for event
photography any kind of shooting
situation where you want that tighter
crop and you also want that beautiful
1.8 capability. Perfect, it
actually feels really good in the hand
because this camera is meant for this
size lens. There it goes, it's focusing right on
the money,
yep let me change it to 1.8 see if it'll
yep and again let's try the live view, it
even allows me to snap the picture this
way or to do my touch focusing and I'll
tell you honestly especially in low
light where I am in here it's doing a little
bit of hunting but in a brighter
environment. I don't see this being a
problem
wow yeah it's allowing me to focus
rather quickly even with the touchscreen.
So now you really stepped up your game
and you're doing some nature photography
which is one of the reasons that the
D500 is so popular among Nikon
enthusiasts, well here you go very popular lens,
this is their 150-600 this is their
contemporary design so it's a little bit
lighter weight than their sports model
but let's take a look here and see
do all the way to 600mm see if
I can focus all the way on the other
side of the Digital Goja showrooms.
Yeah picking all the way in the other
side and again let me try the live view
its again allowing me to lock my focus.
Wow, so again you have the capability
of being able to work with your Sigma Art
series lenses or even the non global
version before and be very happy with
the way they function with your new D500.
Happy shooting!
