Today I have finally brought the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 monster on the field! This is a $24,000, 16kg lens, the only 500mm f2.8 of the world! It has been a blast!!! I am a nature photographer and I am not expert in portrait/fashion, but it has been a lot of fun! :-D The angel is CRISTINA, a professional model, that I have chosen for a series of photos taken this morning at Rivalta, a medieval village between the hills of northern Apennines, Italy. First, a big thanks to the team! Cristina, my marvelous model, who has given the best for these photos! Sigma ( http://www.sigmaphoto.com/ ), that kindly loaned me the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 PhotoSeiki ( http://www.photoseiki.com/ ), that has manufactured a custom made head for the 200-500 Marco Sitza from Sigma, who has taken some "behind the scenes" photos Gitzo ( http://www.gitzo.com ), that kindly loaned me the Gitzo 5541 LS And now...our dear angel! This is just a preview, a couple of photos and 100% crops, but next week I'm going to publish the full size photos AND THE RAW FILES for download in my 200-500 2.8 review! http://www.juzaphoto.com/eng/articles/sigma_200-500_2_8_ex_dg_review_test_hands_on.htm http://www.juzaphoto.com/shared_files/articles/sigma_200-500/sigma_200-500-500_2-8.jpg Canon 1Ds MarkIII, Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG (at 500mm), 1/250 f/2.8, iso 100, Tripod. http://www.juzaphoto.com/shared_files/articles/sigma_200-500/sigma_200-500-1000_5-6.jpg Canon 1Ds MarkIII, Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG (at 1000mm), Sigma 2.0x Teleconverter, 1/250 f/5.6, iso 400, Tripod. These are two 100% crops from the previous photos...wide open, on the 21 megapixels sensor of 1DsIII... http://www.juzaphoto.com/shared_files/articles/sigma_200-500/sigma_200-500-500_2-8-crop.jpg 500mm f/2.8 http://www.juzaphoto.com/shared_files/articles/sigma_200-500/sigma_200-500-1000_5-6-crop.jpg 1000mm f/5.6 I always handhold my Canon 600 f/4 IS and some time ago I was asked if I could handhold the Sigma monster...yes, I can :-) but obviously it is just for fun; I can handhold it just for few minutes, and I need very fast SS to get sharp photos. The majority of the photos taken during the test had been taken on the sturdy Gitzo tripod. http://www.juzaphoto.com/shared_files/articles/sigma_200-500/Juza_handholding_sigma_200-500_2-8.jpg If you have any question, feel free to ask! -- Juza Nature photographer www.juzaphoto.com
