Sydney Spotting Photos 24/2/2011
 

Hey everyone,
After picking up my new camera lens this morning (Sigma 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM), I decided to test it out. Below are some photos that I took today. Its the first time that I have used a lens of this size & I immediately fell in love with it (Bernie P can refer to this ;)).

Please feel free to leave any comments/criticism. Any criticism, is good criticism!!! :)

great pics mate...

Nice pics...........and the guys in the boat aren't even looking at the triple roller........

I like how the photos look like they are in the same spot so it gives a good comparison of the different aircraft types, colours, size etc. Nice job Jayden :)

Nice photos. What body do you use Jayden? If cropped would the lens work on a full frame? Thanks.

The Sigma lenses the whole range will work on any camera, you just need to get the appropriate mount. ie the 50-500 will go on the 30D,7D, 5D,1D etc

Thanks for all the comments.

Tony,
I'm currently using a Nikon D90 which seems to be doing just the right job!

excellent shots Jayden, you must have been at the mound same time as me and the other crowd? (I have a similar shot of the JAL 777)

I too bought a new DSLR, Lumix G10 big improvement on my previous Nikon L100 but no way as good as yours.

Great pics Jayden!

Hey Jay nice photos I'm taking your advice mate I'm upgrading and was thinking of getting the same lens as yourself what's the quality like after 4-450mm ?
