Sigma 400mm APO telemacro for Sony/Minolta. Sold!!!!!
« on: February 13, 2009, 02:39:13 PM »
It'll be a 600mm on a Sony with a 1.5 crop factor! :o

Just got the G version and I need to part with this one. It is in perfect condition and is a very rare lens especially in this good of condition. It took me over a year to find this one! The last one I watched on Ebay went for $625. I haven't seen another one there in several months.

I'm offering this one for $500.


To get a 400mm lens just one stop faster will cost you in excess of $2000.

Here is the review for this lens.

Not to be confused with this one!!!! I had this lens and sold it. The Telemacro was head and shoulders above this one....
