New Lens...

After many months of reading reviews and comparing costs I have finally purchased a new lens for my Canon Camera. The final choice was the Sigma DG 120-400mm1:4.5,5.6 APO HSM. It is, to say the least, a beast weighing in at 1.7kgs. It arrived yesterday and below are some of my initial shots... I have reduced them, but not as much as we usually do. The first three were taken with the tripod.

This was taken freehand at a distance of over 100mtrs away

These were again taken freehand but through our windows...

I am pleased with the results. It does what it says on the box and should help with my workout humping it around! The last telephoto lens I bought was over 40 years ago for a now defunct SLR film camera... I still have the camera and the lens... One day they may become collectors items!!!!
