When mounted on lower end digital camera, Sigma APO 50-500mm f4-6.3 may get confused in complex lighting. There are two solutions to this problem. You can be patient and learn to shoot with this lens. Or you can upgrade your camera. For example, some Nikon D70 owners were complaining about autofocus problems, which went away after upgrade to D300 camera. So, if you have a Nikon D70 and don't like this lens, borrow a D300 from a friend and see if the lens performs better. Most probably the root cause is the camera, not the lens.

XXXL Size Sigma = Bigma

This is a BIG and HEAVY lens; it comes in at 4 pounds, not counting the weight of your camera. That is why Bigma is the nickname of this lens. Anyway, small 500mm lens has yet to be invented. You will get used to the weight really soon.
We suggest being cautious and using the neck strap provided with the lens in addition to the strap on the camera. It might not be wise to trust the weight of the lens hanging from the camera without extra support.

Mount it on monopod or tripod

It is possible to have really good results shooting from hand, but lens performs best when mounted on a monopod, or tripod. Using this extra equipment will let you to avoid killing your back. Always use the tripod mount on the Sigma 50-500 handle instead of camera tripod mount. Do yourself a big favor and invest in a tripod, or at least a monopod and it will show in your pictures.
