I know you are being flippant, Allen, but as a lawyer, you could interpret the thread title literally, as referring to
lenses that are 300mm or more. It doesn't preclude photos at shorter focal lengths taken with those lenses. ;-)
The thread started as being about only the F*/FA*300 f4.5, then drifted into discussion of other 300mm primes, until at post #88 came this:
Originally posted by Mike.P® How about the 300mm+ club, then I can post some Bigma pictures when it arrives tomorrow
The suggestion was immediately accepted by the OP (who hasn't posted on the forum since 2011). @Mike.P® is still an active member, so he can weigh in here, but for my part, while the thread is clearly mainly about long tele, if you are going to talk about the merits of the Bigma I don't see any harm in discussing its performance below 300mm as well as above. The occasional shot at 290mm isn't going to change the nature of the thread.
Enough talk. Some parrot images with the K-30 and Sigma 400mm f5.6 Tele Macro (this is the one with the 77mm filter thread).
