Strolled around the local zoo the other day to see the big cats. As usual they were just lazing around but this big guy was nice enough to pose for a few portraits. What I really like about this photo is that it's through a fence and luckily the long lense made it disappear.

Thanks for the kind words. I totally agree with you about it being an underrated lens. I have never had an issues with the image quality from my copy. I sent it in last year to get calibrated and they told me to be careful with it since they don't have any more replacement parts for them and can't get anymore. They also changed the HSM motor and calibrated it for free! Sigma Canada is the best
