First Shots with sigma 70-200 F2.8
Well impressed to be honest, this is as least as good as the 100-400, possibly better. Focus is quick and quiet, bit heavy though. Get's it's first outing in anger on Sunday, be good to see how it performs.
resize and slight sharpen, full frame  100% crop from centre, no processing at all

The little shooting I have done with mine has most impressed me. |

I bought it second hand, 4 months old, totally mint for £400. It's the DG version.

It does seem to be the case that you need to spend about £500 to get a decent lens.
 Poor people like myself just can't seem to justify that cost. |

its the way things are at the moment, sensors can resolve to such high resolution in today's cameras that minor imperfections immediately become obvious. you didn't get that with film...as a result people are more than ever aware that in order to retain image quality you have to pay lots for lenses, assuming hte ones you pay lots for are good quality!

Had mine for about 15 months now and can't fault it for the money.
