Sigma 150-500@500 on K-3, 100 % crop. A brilliant macro lens when you can not get close.

Very impressive Mikkel. I'd be interested to know what your lighting was. And did you hand hold these??

Nice shots. Impressed with the 150-500 and K3 combo.\\

What focal length did you use?

mikdyb · 12-13-2015, 05:33 AM

Thank you. Only natural light and, yes, handheld. The optical stabilization built in in the lens is quite good. Focal lenght 500 mm (750 mm 35 mm equivalent on the K-3)

I have always been impressed with the close focusing of the 50-500.
500mm handheld not a crop. I was out photographing birds but was not finding any. But the Bigma handled this dragonfly quite well.
