Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm Os

<p>Good Day Everyone,</p>

<p>I wish to develop my photography skills in the field, quite literally, of nature photography. I own a Nikon D80 and enjoy it very much. I have been interested in adding a telephoto lens to my bag and the Bigma seems to be great value. I have read all there is to read on the internet, so now I would like to ask all of you who actually own this lens: Should I or should I not but this lens?<br>

Any feedback would be most welcome</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Ben</p>

<p>Welcome Ben,<br>

just to be sure, you may get much better answers in the Nikon forum, or the Nature forum. The new user introductions are really more introductions.<br>

I never owned the Bigma, but just to be sure: it is really big and heavy. Consider to go to a store which holds one to see if that's OK with you before deciding. The internet can not teach you how a 1 kilo plus lens feels like, and not everyone is liking such weights and sizes.<br>

Hope you'll get more conclusive answers though ;-)</p>
