  • Does the sigma 50-500mm have image stabilization? i got a sont 70-300 telephoto lens, and i shoot motorsport. its blurry and i cant find a image stabilization feature anywhere, help?

  • What was the small lens you reviewed at the end? I couldn't hear.

  • @will98fb 500mm F1.8

  • I bought me a Sony 70-400 G SSM lens together with a Minolta AF 2x APO II konverter (which is better than the Sony 2x konverter) for my Sony Alpha a55. With that camera, which has a 1.5x crop factor you get an 600mm tele zoom lens and with the 2x konverter you get a huge 1200mm tele lens. I need it for moon, animal and nature fotography. The pictures are glass clear by 100% in sharpness...realy awesome!

    The Sony 70-400 G SSM is a great lens...maybe the best Sony lens on the market at this time.

  • i have a sony cybershot dsc h9 what zoom lenses do you think would think

  • No 70-200mm f2.8? Its one of their best lenses

  • this table is a bit expensive for me :)

  • I have a Sony 290L alpha, when i want to buy a lens what type should i buy, like what should i say to the shop?

  • if only I had enough money to buy one of these lenses for my Alpha 350

  • I have a sony a330 and i really like the lens at 0:50 to 1:24 but i am not the best english man :-/ so can you please say what the name of the lens are? :D

    Hi Jakob, it is the Sigma 50-500 Lens ;)

  • isn't it so nice to shoot on something special. so gorgious. but (sigh) expensive to buy specially like me as a learner. I wish I could buy these things too.

  • How much is the Sgma 50- 500?

  • what is a good lense for a starter like me? aside from the 18-55mm that comes with my a330? thanks!

  • The Sony 55-200 or the 75-300 will be good for you. Or the Minolta 70-210. Cheap long lenses.

  • Minolta 70-210 F4 would be perfect the old version not the new one,

  • im a newbie i bought a sony a330 are those lenses compatible with my camera and what does the hood do for the picture quality? thank you! hoping for ur reply! i just subscribed :)

  • They work just fine with the a330. The hood helps prevent flare from lights on the edge of the picture and keeps the contrast high. Without a hood some pictures look washed out.

  • thanks for this video,

    nice to see the 500mm/F8 lens :)

  • will the "bigma" warp of harm the mont on the camera if your gand holding it

  • Not if you support the lens with one hand - but if you 'hang' the lens down from your camera strap all day it certainly could.

  • I was really hoping this video would compare these lenses with the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8.

  • Did the Sigma stripped?

  • good job, thx 4 sharing

  • It's a not fair comparison though. Sigma also has a 300mm f/2.8 which costs half of the Sony/Minolta equivalent.  I am sure it's a very good lens.

  • One more Konica Minolta lens for Sony to rebadge is the 600mm f/4. That's some serious glass. Nonetheless, the 300mm f/2.8 with 2x converter would do 600mm with f/5.6. Such a combination would be great for wildlife photo. I also think that the 70-200mm with 2x extender is a much more cost effective and more portable option than getting the 70-200 and 70-400. A good part about an f/2.8 lenses is that you can use the telephoto extenders 1.4x and 2x without any issues.

  • I shot some pictures with both the 70-400 and 300 f/2.8, loved the latter, can't say the same about the first. It's a good lens, but I prefer my own 70-200, even though that's significantly shorter...

    Great video, nice to see the 300mm on YouTube!

  • wtf are you talking about the color masami?

    The two white lenses (70-200 + 300) been Minolta designs from 2006 and 2003.

    Sony did not change them only in minor elements.

    The silver one (70-400) is a new Sony design.

    And even if you think this is a copy of Canon in any way, it is not...

  • great review but i think that sony does really like to copy canon styles with the white lens and little red ring on the hood and not the lens, get orignal Sony,

    I think its too difficult for them to compete against Canon.

  • There seems to be some audio/video sync issues with this video. Good info nonetheless.
