Duplicate listing of the Sigma 500mm f/4 Sports — same lens as ID 3485 in Nikon F mount.
The Sigma 500mm f/4 DG HSM Sports is a duplicate listing of Sigma's flagship super-telephoto prime from the Sports line, also listed as ID 3485. This professional-grade lens competes with Canon and Nikon's 500mm f/4 offerings at a significantly lower price. It represents Sigma's most ambitious super-telephoto design, targeting elite wildlife and sports photographers.
Optical performance is outstanding. Sharpness is exceptional from f/4 with minimal improvement when stopping down. The Sports line design with FLD fluorite-equivalent elements delivers reference-class chromatic aberration control. OS stabilisation provides approximately 4 stops of correction. HSM autofocus is fast with customisable focus limiter switches.
Nikon F mount in this listing. Filter thread uses a rear drop-in 46mm filter holder. Weight is approximately 3,310 grams. Build quality is outstanding with full weather sealing, magnesium alloy construction, and carbon fibre reinforced tripod foot. Compatible with Sigma 1.4x and 2x teleconverters for extended reach. Hard case and tripod collar included.
Available on the used market well below Canon and Nikon equivalent pricing — the primary reason to choose Sigma at this level. Check OS motor, AF accuracy, and all elements for damage or haze. The size and weight require serious tripod or gimbal support. An outstanding professional super-telephoto that brings 500mm f/4 performance to a wider audience.
