How much do you like wildlife? If the answer is a lot, then let me welcome you to the ultimate Sigma APO 200-500 F2.8 ultra telephoto lens. This product weighs 35-pounds (16kg) and is one hell of a lens.

This is the worlds first to offer a cool F2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length and has a dedicated F5.6 attachment which will ensure auto focusing at 1000mm; an internal Li-ion battery is what powers this baby up which powers the zooming and AF mechanics.

Now the reason we asked you “How much do you like wildlife? Is because here comes the price, the Sigma APO 200-500 F2.8 telephoto lens is available for Sigma and Nikon mounts in June or Canons in April for $25,000 (¥2,500,000).
