Hi everyone

Just had my heart operation and decided that it would be better if I lightened my load for nature photography. All of a sudden the northern fells look much bigger!

I have for sale a 2year old Sigma 500mm f4.5, it has the HSM but is not the DG version. I rather think the DG was a gimmick anyway to relaunch their lens range at higher prices. The lens is Canon EF fit and works like a dream and is tack-sharp, it is unmarked, it comes with clear and polarising filters, strap, lens hood, lens caps and Sigma case/bag.

I am looking for £1,400 for the lens, or anyone out there with a spare Canon 400mm F5.6L or the Canon 100-400 f5.6L zoom I would be interested in a PX deal.

If you are interested please contact me on brian@helm-images.co.uk

Cheers

Brian

Brian,

I have just sold my sigma 500mm so not up for a px but i have got a 400mm 5.6L that i might be parting with, keep me in mind if you sell your sigma.

Regards
Brian
