and F5.6 at the 1000mm focal length.
This is the first large-aperture ultra telephoto zoom lens that has an F2.8 aperture at the 500mm focal length.

It gives the photographer brand new powers of expression in all kinds of photography such as sports, portrait and nature photography. ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations and the superior image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Sigma's own revolving filter ring mechanism makes it easy to use a circular polarizing filter.
