Thanks for liking my photos.

Both the DA*300 and the Sigma 500/F4.5 are almost equally sharp to me,I like the colors rendered by DA*300 slightly more.

Thanks Ken. Would love have Sigma 500 for that extra reach. But New DA-1.4x TC going a long way to giving me a bit of both.

Hope to see lots more interesting birds from you.

DA* 300 is great lens, beautiful and accurate colors.

the bokeh of the first photo looks best to me, the bokeh on others are a bit busy but those are nice too
