BHPian ![]() | ![]() ^^^ both are exceptionally sharp pics. I guess this lens is no more available. And not sure if the new 150-500mm, is this good. |

| ![]() [quote=me_sid; Right sreeraj, I also do believe that its the man behind the lens and not the gear, I also " Depend" on my 70-300 mm for my tiger stints ![]() Holy Cow!! Amazing shot!!! And heavenly light. Dont get biased, Most of the award winning Wildlife photos are created by the same 70-300 you are mentioning. Remember Jayanth Sharma's, elephant charging photo? Quote:

| ![]() Good morning gentlemen! Awesome set of Pics posted by guyonblackybx, particularly the flames.The tiger pics are sharp but why did you crop the face? @Sreeraj, you are right for tigers you dont need fixed tele as I feel u get a bit crippled by focal length, I mean you loose the flexibility.Am happy with her performance. By the way yesterday I got myself a second body, a D200 second hand with shutter cycle of 1218 for 28K ![]() @Samurai: Yes, I am aware, I went to periyaar in 2005 for my honeymoon.Stayed in a hotel called Aranya Niwaas by KTDC.They have a thing called night safari, where poachers turned conservationists take you in a walking tour thru the jungle. Managed to patao my wife to come with me , and trust me not even a growl. Only pug marks that too a day old.Even in Corbette, I wasnt satiated frankly From my archive 2006 May, Sidhababa Female, late evening, crossing the road after a lazy day in the muck/pool. What a life |

This was first time I was using the lens, and had to use Auto Focus. However auto focus on this lens is slow. But its aint effective for small subjects like birds :P I use Canon 400D Here is the link Sigma 170 - 500 mm APO DG - a set on Flickr | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is slow AF a problem with all Sigma lenses? Whenever possible, I use autofocus, and it is lightning fast and accurate with my 18-70mm kit lens. In some low light situations, I use manual focussing when AF fails. |
