Is this for the OS version or HSM II or any and all?

Blackhawk with HSM II Macro; flew by our building with just enough to time to lift, point and shoot. Image has been cropped a bit. Fast AF on this lens.

The Q effectively *is* a teleconverter.... like 5.5x without robbing light.

Hmmm, where do I start? All with the non-OS HSM II: my go-to event lens - it's not too shabby.

Sandy were these taken with the Q . That is crazy sharp . Is the Q a good camera to use for wildlife photos . I don't think I have ever seen pictures so sharp . I think they look great .

No, but they were taken with my Sigma 70-200/2.8. Isn't that the point of this thread?

I'm sorry Sandy I though a Q was a camera with the Sigma attached . I'll have to look into what a Q is .
