Street Photography With "The Bigma"

Рет қаралды 209,301

Ай бұрын

I recently spent some time with the legendary Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 - AKA "The Bigma". This rare lens is a 15.7kg beast and offers a bunch of ground breaking technology. But, what happens when you attach it to one of the world's smallest mirrorless cameras?
