Haven't had much opportunity to play with the new Sigma 120-400 yet but here are a couple of hand held shots at 400mm from Vancouver Harbour. Suddenly several new factors come into play when using a lens with this long of focal length, heat waves and haze especially on the longer shots. The OS (optical stabilization) works far better than I expected. I am able to hand hold a shot at 400mm with 1/30sec shutter speed and get good sharp results.
Will post more pictures and impressions soon as I have time to play with this lens a little more.
Very nice photos! They are clear and bright. I'm glad to hear you are happy with the OS system on the lens.
ReplyDeleteI hate to one up you but I also took the plunge and bought a new lens this week. It's on it's way and I should have it next week. I splurged and went for the Sigma 150-500mm lens with the OS system. Hopefully I can get a little closer to the wildlife with it.
