New toy number one

[daveyuk]

Went a little mad and bought the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 DG EX APO lens. I've had a quick play and taken some test shoots in the garden as it's now snowing I'll leave it for while then I'll have another go. They're a little shakey but I'm still getting used to the weight of this lens and finding a comfy hand hold on it. Here are three from this mornings try out.

Bird bath one.

Bird bath two.

Red berry bush (well what's left of it)!!

you're going to like that lens. Mines hardly been off the camera since I got it. :thumb: It's better taking off the tripod collar for hand holding, just in case you havent already

Ah cheers Dod hadn't thought of that. Cheers for the heads up on that I'll give it a go, as it's snowing/rainning down I'll leave fo today and have another bash tomorrow.

It's soooooooo quiet compaired to the 80-400 sigma really should have puhed the boat out and given that one HSM.
