Late LBA shots: Sigma 70-300/4-5.6 · 02:42 PM

Hi all,

I bought this lens about 2 months ago and actually uploaded the first photo I took to photobucket but never got around to post it here. Anyway, I managd to find some spare time to take photos and took some more shots with this lens. So here is the LBA shots:

The very first shot with this lens:

Some random shots:

Testing the macro/close-focusing ability:

Nice series, I like the varieity of subjects. Great comoposition and well exposed.

Is your Sigma the APO version?

Thanks for the nice comments, Jim and cupic! I don't shoot much in the telephoto range so I don't use this lens much but every time I do use it, I enjoy it very much.

And yes, it is the APO vesion

Thanks
Kenny

Kenny, long time to see.

Congrads on the lens and it seems like a performer there.

I have yet bought any new lenses for 9 months now. Maybe it is time

Hi James

Long time no see indeed. I haven't been as active in my photography hobby in the last few months but I still try to take some photos when I do find time.

No purchase for 9 months? You are doing very well then. The Sigma 70-300 is my only purchase since my honeymoon trip to Japan at the beginning of the year so I am not doing too bad myself. However, I have been looking at the Sigma 10-20 more and more and with my birthday coming in about 3 weeks I don't know how long I can hold out!! =)
