Sigma 400mm AF APO Canon

This is the now somewhat scarce Sigma 400mm F5.6 APO Telephoto in Canon EOS mount. This is a very compact lens with built-in sliding hood. It features Manual focusing with the tip of your finger, rotating tripod mount, takes 72mm filters, and close focus to 13 feet. Because of the usual Sigma chip incompatibity, you can not stop the aperture down and must shoot wide open all the time with digital and later EOS film cameras - which is really what you should be doing anyway with this focal length lens. Comes with front and rear caps and a soft case not pictured. Reviews of this lens put it very close if not equal to the Canon 400 and my experience confirms this. See photo taken with this lens. If you are looking at Sigma 400mm lenses - make sure you get an APO version - BIG difference, and it must say "APO" on the lens !

CONDITION: I have personally cleaned, tested and used this lens - it is in EXC+ condition (9) and there are no detractions that I am aware of. I am a 13 year dealer on e-Bay as "Imagemeister" - check me out.

Price is $265 including shipping and insurance payable through PayPal

Thanks for stopping by Canon fans !...........Larry

Can this lens be used with a tc? I realize that the light will be cut down considerably. This would mount to a Eos T2i?

Sure, you can use TC for manual focus only - I recommend Tamron !
