Ideal for nature and wildlife photographers seeking an all-in-one lens that minimizes lens changes and maximizes image quality. ## Description Sigmas APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM is an advanced optical design of this 10x power high-performance zoom lens that covers the standard-to-super-telephoto range, now with the added advantage of Sigmas own Optical Stabilization which offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Sigma is the only one to offer OS for Sony and Pentax mount where the image is stabilized in the viewfinder if chosen. For many photographers, having an "all-in-one" lens is an absolute dream. Especially for nature photographers, the idea of a lens suitable for landscape photography at the short end of the zoom range, while still having enough reach for wildlife is a great option. Add to that, the ability to close focus on small objects in the field such as flowers and its the perfect backpackers lens. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide optimum color correction & sharpness throughout the entire zoom range and super Multi-Layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting and assures high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. With no need to change lenses, there is less chance of dirt or moisture entering the camera and fouling the imaging sensor. ## Features - Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO Lens - Nikon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003A6H2Y8 | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #752 in Digital Camera Accessory Kits | | Date First Available | March 3, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.34 pounds | | Item model number | 738306 | | Manufacturer | Sigma Corporation of America | | Product Dimensions | 8.62 x 4.09 x 4.09 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sigma - **Camera Lens Description:** Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM SLD Ultra Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera - **Compatible Mountings:** Nikon F (FX) - **Focal Length Description:** 50-500 millimeters - **Lens Type:** Telephoto ## Images ![Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM SLD Ultra Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bN-tiv4hL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a great lens to bring on safari? Is it too cumbersome? I have a nikon D810. Thank you in advance for your feedback! I appreciate your help.** A: YES, Here is why. This is my most used lens. I am on my second one in well over 10 years.. It takes very good pictures. It is reasonable fast. I certainly would NOT use it for portraits . or high-end magazine shoots. It is very heavy and large. I carry it with a shoulder strap While riding a motorcycle at speeds as slow as 5 PPH and as fast as 80 MPH+ , I have won a a few Armature contests with some of my in motion pictures, i Took while flying down the road on my motorcycle, in the white mountains, and on the Tail of the Dragon. as well as the Swiss Alps and most of Europe. Again, for the money and the ability to get pictures at a very long distance, It is worth the money...If you can handle the weight on your shoulder. AGAIN. This is NOT a high quality portrait lens. And it is HEAVY, So do not plan an all day shoot unless you can take the weight on your shoulder. **Q: I have a Nikon D5100 will this work on my camera ?** A: Yes but keep in mind the DX Sensor will give you a field of view 75mm-750mm. I use it on my D3s and D800 - it's focus is very zippy almost as fast as my 70-200mm VR1 - The HSM (Hypersonic Motor) will work with your D5100 since your camera body does not have a built-in focus motor. **Q: will it work on a Canon 70D?** A: Presuming that you order this lens with a Canon mount, it is my belief that it would work with a Canon 70D. I own this lens and have used it both on my Canon 5DIII and my Canon 7DII. However, I think Sigma's 150-600mm F5-6.3 Contemporary is a better lens for a variety of reasons. If you could afford the Sports version, even better, but if you were spending that much you might want to think about a Canon 100-400 (newest version) and a 1.4 teleconverter. I have not been happy with the Sigma 50-500. At the 50 end it is useless for all intents and purposes. At the opposite end, the lens is generously called 500mm. It is my impression that its maximum range is around 470mm. Also, it is built on older technology than the 150-600. Its autofocus is slow and when you move to the larger magnifications you quickly step up to higher F-stops where the ability of the lens to focus quickly is even more limited. That said, I have seen some great photos taken with this lens, but that is not an experience I have had. A final note, Canon is reported to be releasing a 200-600 non-L lens in 2017 that will be priced below the new 100-400L. If you can wait, this might be a solution for you. **Q: Is this lens 740.00 better than the Sigma 150-500 lens** A: For me, I have preferred it over 150-500 as it starts from 50mm rather than 150mm. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM SLD Ultra Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera - BM Premium 2 Pack of EN-EL15B Batteries and Dual Battery Charger for Nikon Z6, Z7, D780, D850, D7500, 1 V1, D500, D600, D610, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D7000, D7100, D7200 Digital Cameras - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1149789-sigma-50-500mm-f-4-5-6-3-apo-dg](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1149789-sigma-50-500mm-f-4-5-6-3-apo-dg) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
