This thread is dedicated to the ridiculousness that is the Sigma 50-500.

Just for comparison / lens porn. Maybe if the sun comes out tomorrow I will get some decent shots to show off.

In this pic is a Tokina 400mm f5.6 Close Focus SD AF 400
Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 Af-s (Slightly larger than the 70-200 VR)
and Simga 50-500 F4-6.3

Notice the UV filters, Thats what I get for buying all of these Used lol, I left them on because they don't seem to affect image quality.

However the Sigma shows its true colors when extended. And makes the Nikon feel inferior.

Ignore me in the TV, and my somewhat messy room.
