re sigma lens

yes,the main issues the lens had was that the image would jump

around violently in view finder,when the button was half pressed down,

it would move irratically,Some people mind find this acceptable,i dont,

and didnt and sent the lens back,i have since swaped the lens for

a canon 70 to 300mm,(see pics in terestrial subjects,tittled "birds with

new lens" by hotspur.NOW i could not get images any where near those

with that sigma thing,i could get some resonable images when in manual

focus with no IS or OS as sigma call it.the images i got in sports mode

were a joke,i paid well over a K,and was not happy.the lens had a number of other issues too.

I am becoming a bit tiresome of this thread,and have moved on,and

am currently happy with the above canon lens,and will be purchasing

a canon 70 to 200mm non IS F2.8 soon,I really just wanted people

to be aware that sigma lens may not be what they hope.

THE END
