That would probably be the ok stuff. Vivitar also made some not so cheap stuff. The Series one. It was well liked. Tested out well. People used them. Tokina or Tamron is the cheap stuff. But Sigma the Green 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG APO IF cost 26 grand! I'm thinking its proably an ok lens. And the best 200-500 zoom your going to find! Its 300-800mm f/5.6 EX DG APO IF HSM Autofocus Lens for Nikon or Canon or whatever is a measly 8 grand. I bet light get through it and it makes an image which is sometimes in focus. Sometimes they are not undercutting Nikon Canon and whoever but coming out with something these guys just don't got. Like a 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM !!! 20mm F1.8 EX DG ASP RF a 24mm F1.8 EX DG ASP Macro who ever heard of such a thing? Is it really flat field? A 50-500mm F4-6.3 EX DG HSM ! Like that old nikon?
