Bad Philip - Mk2
Discussion
Storage boxes this time. You know, those cheap plastic things to put odd stuff in. So, it'll be a surprise to you all that I actually managed to buy a couple....
...and I could take a nice shot of them with the Sigma 120-300 F2.8 that somehow managed to follow me home, with a 2X tele extender.
Native it's fantastic :-
With the tele converter it's a bit daft. The next shot is a 100% crop @ 600mm handheld taken through a fence. It doesn't look that great but it'd be good to note it's a shot of my mates water tower...and it's just over 1KM from me
Oh and even though it's now dark the EX580 flash (thanks Ex-Biker
) will light things up very nicely thank you. It's very impressive and seems to be even capable of keeping up with the 1DmkII's 8.5 frames per second for a bit.
I await El Jenkin's comments as ever...

Christ on a bike mate, good job I got you over to the pub yesterday, lord knows what you'd have spent otherwise
That'll be cool. I tell you, hand holding the new lense is a good workout. The weight of my camera bag is a bit of a joke now too. I feel some kit thinning coming on...

Rearrange the following into a well known phrase:-
MONEY.....MUCH.....TOO....

I might be persuaded to part with mine......
100-400IS most likely.
Got one...what else
Martin.
I've not . . . .
Do they cost a lot?[/quotOff the top of my head about £1300.

Gave my 120-300 it's 2nd workout at Thruxton on Saturday. I'm really really impressed with it. Got some shots the pros missed because they had 300mm primes on, and I could zoom out
Also gave the 17-85 and 10-22 ef-s lenses their first outing, also very impressive. Lots of pics to post when I get a free hour or 2.....

It's a really cool lense. It's a bit of a shock after the 100-400IS. That lense seems very compact and light in comparison!
Not impossible to handhold for a while though. And to think I was looking at 400mm F2.8 IS's once. 5.6KG v 2.6KG of the Sigma. I think my limit is 3KG handheld without some serious workouts!

Yeah, it's a real lump. About the limit of what I can handle, even on a monopod. Much sharper than the 100-400 though
