I am loving this honkin' lens! The squirrel ran up away again - but this time I got some shots of him way up the tree. Also, another chickadee pic.

Very nice and clear shots. I love the broken in the bird pic and the squirrel pic's have such detail. Sounds like a great lens and you are handling it well.

Wow, those look great. Glad you're having fun with it.

thanks! I am loving it. That squirrel can run now, but he had better find a better place to hide. lol

The chickadees were about 20 feet away, the squirrel about 30 feet up the tree.

Is the 500mm chickadee shot hand held or on a pod?

I shoot almost everything on a pod due to hand tremors. These were definetly on a pod. The weight of the lens is so much that you wouldnt want to hand hold it

Cool shots. I like shooting with my 70-210 so much I want something longer.. the Bigma would be sweet, but is there any CA/fringing/vignetting/nastiness at the long end? I was thinking the 300mm 4.0IS plus a 1.4x TC would be awesome, but the Bigma is even longer plus its a zoom..

all the shots from today are at 500mm - no vignetting or fringing that I see. The pics posted are converted from RAW, nothing else done but cloned out a twig in front of the squirrel on one shot. Oh - and cropping - but the edges were as clear as the rest of the image

he hee I bought a Sigma 170-500mm recently and its brill, just waiting for good weather to go out and use it more!!

(50-500/170-500/300-800)


the 800mm is the real bigma of the range though!!! The pic of it is n't too scale so its about twice as big as the two 500mm. Incredibly it also works with a converter!! 1600mm would be awesome!!
