First shots with the 50-500

[Effjay]

Got my Bigma this morning so rushed out on my lunch break to the local reserve and got a couple of shots off. It's a beast to handhold, but I'll get used to it. I can always stick it on a monopod if needs be.

Both of these were at the long end and handheld :

Cheers mate, and thank you again for the contact at SRS, if it werent for them and you, I wouldn't have had this lens!

Two fantastic shots there though on the second one I'd perhaps sharpen the robins eye and turn the contrast up a tad

not a prob, glad to hear you finally got it, and look forward to seeing many great pics from you, and who said this lens is soft, i think not.

Nice shots, is that the original model or the new OS version.

Lovely shots you got there, I am having thoughts now of selling the 150-500 and getting the new 50-500 OS ...

Ken, this is the non OS version. I don't think the new one is being made in 4/3rds fit.

And thanks all for the comments, cant wait to get back out after the weather clears a bit again!

Non OS, mind asking how much you paid?
