By PR admin | Published: May 19, 2024


It seems that the Sigma APO 200-500mm f/2.8 (Bigma) lens is already discontinued:

But this is what happens when you get random people who have no clue how the industry works and make them "editors". How clueless you must be to believe what a company's PR person is telling you? Remember Olympus?

The lens was initially announced in April 2008. The end of an era (the DSLR era).
