Camera Labs

this is one of quite a few shot this day and one of my favourites...... D2Xs Sigma Bigma @ 370 mm 250 iso 1600@7.1

Excellent, excellent shot!

So I'm presuming the Bigma has no worries focusing quickly enough for this kind of thing?

I shoot a lot birds using the Bigma, hand held, as was this shot, you just need to be steady....... I find that the bigma focus is quite quick, but mine has the updated chip and software....... and sharp

Amazing! Nothing else to say...

The lens was not sharp at infinity so I returned it to the importer under warranty and the above was on the repair sheet......... I am also having my 120-300 2.8 done ATM, we will see how that improves when I get it back.........

Digital lens and cameras do need fine tuning. I have had my Nikon D2Xs focus ajusted twice in 9 months. I get this done when the body needs doing at Nikon, so it pays to buy local and not grey market as the service I get get at Nikon is very good. It is always good to have sample images when returning a lens or body as it will help the person doing the repair

I'm really pleased you're posting these great shots from the Bigma - this lens generates a lot of interest due to its relatively affordable price tag, but many are put off by its relatively slow focal ratio when zoomed-in and are also suspicious of its capabilities when similar lenses from other manufacturers cost much more.

But you continue to prove it can take fantastic shots in demanding conditions. Keep 'em coming!

Wow I have lockjaw !!!!! I cannot close my mouth.

Truly fantastic and what a delight to see. Thank you for sharing.

Cheers Ormina
