Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX APO EX DG HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds Mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
I bought this lens at the beginning of the summer, and i couldn't be more happy. i haven't gotten to use it as much as i'd like, but so far it works great hooked to my E-500. it is a little heavy, but what do you expect from such a large focal length? i shot an airshow hand held without image stabilization and i am very pleased with the performance.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX APO EX DG HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds Mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
I've had the lens for a month and used it for wildlife mostly. Pictures are clear and up-close. The weight didn't bother me as I expected it to be heavy with a lens of this size. The kit lenses are made of plastic and feather light, but don't compare in construction as the Sigma lens. I like the fact that in auto focus you can also fine tune it with the focus ring manually. It focuses quickly in auto focus, but I prefer the manual focus most of the time anyway. It takes a little more light than the more expensive lenses, but I expected that as well and for the price, it is a good purchase. To get a lens with this focal length and light weight would cost considerably more. I am very pleased with the lens.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX APO EX DG HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds Mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
I work in the Middle East so I can’t always get close to what I want to take pictures of. Some of my shots are as far away as 3-5 miles. With this lens I can get a view of it. It's not up close and personal but I can make it out, granted my objects are huge to start with. But anything within normal range I can get fantastic pictures with this lens as long as I can keep the camera still. I would recommend a good unipod, tripod or a stable surface to brace yourself on with this lens; it does get heavy after a while.

For the nature shots that I do, the lens is a fine piece of equipment. It definitely needs a sturdy tripod for crisp focus. The autofocus works well in the spot mode, but tends to shift easily at full magnification.
