First shots with the Bigma

[Don Kondra]

Greetings,

New to me this afternoon, testing the auto focus @ 500mm through grass and onto a "black" surface, of course Max moved just as I shot but I believe the character of the image overcomes that one little, teeny tiny technical detail

"Ha, Ha, You Can't See Me"

I think I'm going to Love this Lens, ahh...

Cheers, Don

I've read that the IS doesn't work at 500 MM but I beg to differ. There are tons of times that my shots would've been blown I had not turned on the IS at that length.

Have fun.. great lens/body combo you have there =)

LOL Greg,

I can't tell you how pleased I am to have you back bugging us for reviews

The plan is to get some time in the field with it and then I will take some lens size comparison shots and post my initial impressions.

Cheers, Don

Congrats on the new toy. Hope it brings you excellent photos.


Are you satisfied with the Sigma quality?

[Don Kondra]

Quality seems fine, nice finish, smooth action.

The only thing I need to do is get a new lens cap, it came with a POS side pinch style.

Size isn't an issue, I hadn't planned on shooting it hand held and the Jobu Jr 2 gimbal works like a charm with it mounted.

Cheers, Don
