rarmstrong Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have been interested in any news on this new zoom from Sigma. There are some good examples of the use of this lens for bird photography at the following link if anyone is interested. Also, I would appreciate any comments from others who may have used this lens. Thanks! http://www.birdingworld.co.uk/Sigma%20Photos.htm#top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_hooper1 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Might be an issue focusing with this lens on a Nikon digital body, as auto focus becomes problematic after f5.6. especially in anything but very bright light. Impressive performance however, even at 500mm and wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_brown4 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yup, those look very good at that resolution. I wonder how well the OS works, and I'm looking forward to further reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay_ukidve1 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Excellent pictures. Was waiting for long to see the performance of this lens. Appears quite impressive. Want someone to check it out on a nikon body, specially the autofocus issue beyond 5.6. Though I dont think I would be using this lens in other than good light. Now it is on my wish list! Looks like sigma has got a winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarmstrong Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sigma also has a new 120-400mm model, but I haven't been able to find much about it yet. Anyone know anything else about that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
