My lens for the month was my Sigma 70-200 OS HSM 2.8......... it was pretty well my first expensive lens that I bought when getting a bit more into phptograph. I specifically bought it as a travel lens to go with me on a china trip to use for things like the Terracota Warriors

Anyway.... I use it now only occasionally for things like functions, zoos, weddings and as a walkaround lens in the bush. I had a friends wedding to do this month....so the idea for the single in was to warm up with it prior to the wedding. Turns out I didn't need it for the wedding after all. Anyway, I've recently purchased a sling strap (black Rapid) for it which makes it easeir to use as well as a sling bag that takes it mounted with room for a prime (such as DA21/31).
Anyway I had fun with the lens and it is a bread and butter go to lens for me that takes great shots and is useful at 2.8 at both zoom extremes.....I really love it for dog/pet shots.
