I was just reading about this lens in the latest Camera Australia mag...

I'm swiftly becoming a SIgma convert!

Nice images!

I like the second one kerry. The bridge looks imposing in the compsoition. Very strong image.

Very nice and sharp. The colours are very punchy. Did you do any PP to these pics?

I cannot view the first one (just a little red cross), but the second is a beauty Nice and sharp and lovely colour.The lens doesn't look to be half bad.

Thanks for the kind comments, MHD. Although I'm sure that the top Nikon glass simply can't be beaten for complete image quality and features, I've been quite satisfied with the performance of my Sigma lenses. Even the little 70-300 macro super II is a pretty nice lens, considering that it only costs $200US.

Thanks, Piro.

Yes, I almost always do PP to my stuff. It's a habit I picked up many years ago when I got my first digicam, a 2mp Sony.

Thanks for the kind comments. Sorry for the inconvenience on the first image. Pbase is experiencing growing pains at the moment. I put the direct links in the post to try to provide an alternative. I should have mentioned that.

I'm quite pleased with the lens. I'm currently trying to decide on a fisheye. The 8mm Sigma is quite tempting, but I don't know if it's up there with the Nikkor 10.5 in sharpness. Seems like the Sigma isn't a very popular fisheye, which might be an indication of performance issues.

Birddog - Mitedo is very happy today

Oneputt, come over his place and share his happiness

#2 - WOW I love it. I am always impressed by your ability as a photographer Kerry, especially your eye for composition.  BTW - were these taken recently? A blue sky! From what I hear, it seems to have been raining constantly for a while now (or is that a bit further to the east of you?)

Thank you very much for the great compliment.

These were taken about 2 weeks ago, just before the clouds rolled in...
