Originally posted by tybeck These are solid shots. I've been considering Bigma myself as a wildlife photography lens. For the mean time I'll stick with the manual Sigma 400mm a picked up a few months ago. Quick question, did you do a lot of post-processing on the last image or is the depth-of-field just that tight?
So far, and as little as I've used it, I am really impressed with the lens.
All of these were converted from RAW (actually PEF). Only PP I did was crop, adjust levels a bit, resize/resample, and "Smart Redux Sharpen", which is a variation of USM. The DOF you see is exactly what this lens does at the f-stop and distance I was shooting (about 40 feet away). Very tight!
Since I posted these, I wanted to try one with a technique I'm using for B&W conversion. I actually like this one better than the color version.
