Item Description
Up for sale is the latest version of the Sigma 50-500mm f4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM zoom lens for Pentax cameras (Bigma BigmaOS). I acquired this lens through a trade with a friend of mine who bought it new from B&H in December 2011.
The lens is super clean and has been very well cared for. No marks at all on the exterior. All lens elements are clean and clear with no visible dust in the lens at all.
Optical Stabilization (OS) works perfectly as if should as well as the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for focusing. It is amazingly fast and silent.
I took some test shots on my K-5 linked below. The first 3 of the green bird house are taken at 500mm, f6.3, f7.1, f8, and f9 respectively. There are also a couple of random test images in that set.

Also in the following link is a set of images I took of a local canoe race recently. This was my first outing with the lens, and probably could have done better with some of my settings. Also I was shooting in harsh conditions with direct noon sun and over open water where a polarizing filter may have helped quite a bit.
