Video Description

MY NEW MOBILE LIGHTROOM PRESETS ▶ https://geni.us/k6vOwq Sigma just announced their new 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS Sports lens. I was lucky to try it out before the release and this is my thoughts about it, and how I think it performs for bird and wildlife photography. Note: This is not a super technical review, with sharpness charts etc. This is more a "real world review" of how I think this lens performs in real life. The weight of the lens without the lens hood is 1370g - forgot to put that in the video! Sigma did NOT sponsor this video, all words are my own and they have not watched the video before posting it :) MY LIGHTROOM PRESET PACK ▶ https://geni.us/5SWiEIV SIGMA 500mm f5.6 Sports ▶ https://geni.us/RoWBSjM My Photography GEAR: Sony A7IV ▶ https://geni.us/Kvzcjrd Sony A7C ▶ https://geni.us/HqMmde Shimoda Explore V2 Backpack ▶ https://geni.us/qFn4N Xperia 1 IV ▶ https://geni.us/lBB32xB GoPro Hero 11 ▶ https://geni.us/J3kaNKm Small Tripod Sirui AM225 ▶ https://geni.us/cskIc Lenses: FE 200–600 mm f5,6–6,3 G OSS ▶ https://geni.us/RUqO5P Camouflage Lens Cover ▶ https://geni.us/zb0PSU5 Sigma 500 F4 Sport ▶ https://geni.us/i37dLgH Tamron 70-180 2.8 ▶ https://amzn.to/3JVmdtN Sigma EX 300 f/2.8 DG HSM ▶ https://geni.us/5cWmQos Sigma MC-11 Adapter ▶ https://geni.us/oReb Tamron AF 17-28/2,8 Di III RXD ▶ https://geni.us/YZgBjc Sony 35mm 1.8 ▶https://geni.us/9SQU Sigma 50mm Art 1.4 ▶ https://geni.us/PkAnHU Sony 20mm 1.8 G ▶ https://geni.us/J1r18 DJI Mini 3 PRO ▶ hhttps://geni.us/YqFC Small Tripod Sirui AM225 ▶ https://geni.us/cskIc My Headphones ▶ https://geni.us/NAFLuc Tripod: Sirui N-3203x ▶ https://geni.us/ilFaw Gimbal head: Sirui PH-10 ▶ https://geni.us/S2Q6233 Peak Design Camera Strap ▶ https://geni.us/ksQqG PolarPro ND-Filter ▶ https://geni.us/A7QPI Heimplanet Backdoor Tent: https://geni.us/hHzup Editing Monitor: BenQ PD3205U ▶ https://geni.us/X2hgLo My favorite clothing ▶ https://geni.us/a2AF3Ff Software: MY LIGHTROOM PRESET PACK ▶ https://geni.us/5SWiEIV Get MUSIC for your videos ▶ https://geni.us/96BCtPk NOISE REDUCTION in my images: ▶ https://geni.us/denoise SHARPENING my images with ▶ https://geni.us/sharpenai UPSCALING cropped photos with ▶ https://geni.us/LpwbeX ********************************** FOLLOW ME: Instagram ▶ https://geni.us/ZbH4UzI TIKTOK ▶ https://geni.us/Fnbe Website ▶ https://www.ollenilssonfoto.com/ Email Adress ▶ [email protected] Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:21 First Impressions & Weight 01:14 Design 03:30 Handling 05:00 Image Quality 07:24 AF for Stills 08:21 AF for Video 09:40 Image Stabilization 10:50 Pricing 12:55 Quick Summary
