At first I felt guilty about spending so much for a lens.











Maybe the best money I ever spent.

I would agree. I particularly like 3 + 4.

Very nice. #4 looks underexposed, though.

I have to post this :-)

Wonderful images, thanks for showing us. Bigma is often underrated but I do like mine as well.

No buyer's remorse when you can get results like that! Nice shots with the Bigma.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. But I think the camera and lens (and a cooperative bird) is due most of the credit. And one more that sort of surprised me. Occasionally, the egret would jump or twitch or run unexpectedly. When I gor the images downloaded I found it was because the egret was catching dragonflies!

I had thought these birds fed on small fish and crawdads only.
