Another lucky shot, not sure if it's a goshawk or sparrowhawk though

We only get lucky after a lot of practice. Nice shot.

I got a 150-500mm sigma lens only taken some quick test shots so far. Very happy so far.

Or, a lot of practice creates more opportunity for luck.

Works out the same, more practice - more luck.

As for 'Nice shot', I agree, I wish I had taken it.

Hi all,

I've got a Sigma 50-500 f/4-6.3 APO (NON OS) on it's way to me from Japan. I won an eBay auction on uit.. As I have a K-1 I didn't think I'd need the version with OS. What's the difference between the two aside from the optical stabilization and slighter larger aperture? Is the image quality the same? Will be be disappointed in this lens and wish I'd spent 3x the money for the 4.3 OS version? I'm x posting this in several threads for maximum coverage.

That will depend on what you do with it.

These were both taken with one on a K3.

It is easy to get jaded with the excellence on this thread. I can't get over this little finch from Craig.

Actually, the first is a Wren and the second is a Pardalote.
