    Help with new lens

    Just got my Sigma 70-200mm EX f/2.8. And I've been doing some tests shots. I'm shooting with a Maxxum 7D.

    I'm a little concerned with the results. And I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with me or the lens.

    I'm having trouble focusing first. But the big problem I'm having is with exposure. If I pop up the built in flash the photos are blown out, and without them, they are dark and blurred. I'm shooting in aperture priority with it set to 2.8. Shouldn't the camera adjust for the flash?

    Take a look at the photos I'm posting.

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!

    Thanks!
