What is a Sigmonster?

[KENTGA]

I've seen "Sigmonster" used in several forums and I did a "search" but couldn't find exactly what a Sigmonster is. Thanks for your help.

I think the other term used is "Bigma", and it refers to the 50-500mm zoom they make.

Holy Cow! What aperture would that be???

 

[gasrocks]

Some will argue - the best wildbird lens ever made (so far, for less than $20K.)
