Have you been stubbing cigarettes out on your Fox's nose?

I think the least you can do to apologise to it is buy it some nasal hair trimmers, seems to have one making a break for freedom down the left.

Fantastic lens by the look of it, i'm not jealous at all. Git.

certainly looks the business. So, you haven't taken any photos of white handbags yet to test out the CA .

The piccie of the tap looks particuarly sharp. However, despite the photographic merits of reduced DOF, do you (or others) sometimes think that the DOF looks odd compared with what the human eye would actually see?

Sorry for saying this but the shots taken with Sigma looks better to me.

Careful, they'll be handbags at dawn if you say that

[poah]

sigma is very sharp also. not had a chance to properly test the lens just playing about in the lab with it
