Well, i like it. Pin sharp, great focus, great thrown out background. would have liked to have seen it f5.6 though....
That lens, definitely worth the money. Will you be selling the 120-300 f2.8? cause that lens just does not compare!?
Nice one

I'm toying with selling the sigma - but I still love it. The sigma is pin sharp as well and its more versatile than the 200-400 because its slightly lighter and its a faster lens (apperture wise).
You interested in buying it? If I sold it i'd sell it with sigma 1.4 + 2x tc for £1300

Ha, well, i don't think i can afford it at the moment, but you had said your 70-200, could have been tempted!
By the way, do you autofocus, or manual focus these shots?

wildlife is 90% af. I somtimes manual focus for static subjects if their still long enough - but mostly i don't need to. AF-s is so damn fast, and this new beast of a lens has a range restricter to make it even fast if your shooting subjects more than 6 metres away!

Honestly mate, no offense, but I find this to be a rather boring shot. There's not really a lot happening.

I know, sorry, I mustn't have been clear. What I meant is, I doubt I'd have the patience to even find a blue tit.

bluetits are in abundance here in the UK.

Oh, no, I didn't think you we're being snappy at all or anything.
