@ mambo the focus on the eye in that last one is spot on - very nice
@ snowfella glad you're enjoying the Sigma mate and looks like you are handling it very well. I have been neglecting mine a lot lately favouring the 70-400G I borrowed from a friend but since giving it back a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd dust of the Sigma and do some birding. The following are a couple of the results. BTW I still find the AF on the Sigma to be very frustrating especially in low light plus it does still suffer from more CA than the 400G. Still a nice sharp lens and the extra reach is also a plus.

Also Snowfella have you decided which you prefer with the Sigma either the OS on the lens or SSS in the camera? I did a test on my a65 when I first bought the lens and found the OS on the lens was slightly better. Would love to hear your thoughts on this though. (sorry admins if I shouldn't be asking on this thread).

To be honest I haven't really tested it much using the SSS so I can't say what one I find better.
I can however say though that the OS gives me mixed feelings, sure it's nice the way it stabilizes the image through the viewfinder but after a while it starts giving me a slight feeling of vertigo with the way it floats around. Plus when doing small changes in framing it feels like I have to fight it with the way it lags behind in movement just a fraction of a second. |
