Yes mate I did. It rocks.

Both those pics above have no PP done smileys/happy.gif with the exception of .2 USM, which is fark all.

[Frevo]

I thought that. The colours are awesome! I've notice that before on that other pic you posted some time ago. Amazing to see that a lens makes that much difference in colours.
I've never been a huge Sigma fan (though I can see that the 70-200f/2.8 is a great lens), but this one is amazing.


Btw tell Andy that I might buy a C4 smileys/smiley2.gif

[DaveG]

One of the guys on the Canon forum pretty muc uses Sigma exclusively for all his Motorsport stuff.

He's got a 120-300 and a 500mm prime, and has nothing but very good things to say about them. Doesn't like his 100-400L much.

Also shoots Canoe Polo (don't ask) indoors periodically and reckons the 120-300 is shit hot for that too!

Will pass on the cheer regarding a C4. Which one you after? smileys/happy.gif

[DaveG]

Compare these 3:

1. The image from above, slight crop, resized to 800x533 and USM added

Just a simple 1.6 I think.. got a new job very close to home so I go to work on my bike. I start on the 1st of may so then I have two cars that I only use in the weekend smileys/smiley17.gif
Still not sure though... maybe I'm going to miss the turbo.smileys/smiley5.gif
