Jun 11, 2008 15:17 | #97 Sigma 500mm  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Like I say not the best conditions for a test, will redo at the weekend when I have more time and light. What got me at 500mm was the detail captured in the large 0 to the left. All shot converted in DPP set to standard, white balance tungsten, no sharpening, contrast or saturation. All centre crops. http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

First impressions, lighter than expected and not as imposing as a bigma. Nicely finished with a nice tight zoom ring. OS is a bit slow to get moving but as it is dark and raining I cant test this. Some test shots done in the study, lots of light bulbs used but still on getting 1/50-1/80 exposure times. 10 second timer used.
