Congrats on getting this heavy, expensive, and nice lens.

Unstoppable F Jojo, thankfully, at least you had one "nice" thing to say about it outta 3, without mantioning Sigma at all.
You must be mellowing with age :rolleyes: Not unlike Condyke.

FTR, it's fair to say "I love Canon" too then, since 1/2 my glass are Canon, 1/2 Sigma...and 1 Tamron. Okay, so my math is bad. :lol:

Good for you Snir son. Respekt. Looking forward to seeing some real interesting shots from you, but truth is I'm not sure if this lens can shoot anything but Ducks and brats :confused: be interesting to see if you can get it to work with more interesting stuff.

It's a great lens. I can't say enough about the beauty of the color and sharpness. Got this one over the weekend. Cropped just a little and a little USM. Shot in RAW.

I think it's the most versatile lens I own, and I think it does backfocus some, but when you get this, it's not anything to complain about. :lol:

If you were focusing on the very center of the flower, it's a bit backfocused as the leaves seem to be in focus, not that blooming thing in the middle.

I'm brutally honest. On my local group I'm called Simon Cowell.
:) yea, sorry to rain on the parade. This may most likely be operator error, so I'd go test it out more.

Enjoy it. It's a really nice versatile lens. I think it has the best color/contrast of the zooms in this range. You just have to get used to its weight.
