Subject: Sigma 170-500
Just picked one up a couple of days ago. Couldn't shoot yesterday b/c of
the rain.
Shot some hand-held at 500mm just a bit ago. This is a pretty decent zoom
lens.
Though it is APO, at both 170mm & 500mm there is some fringing. I expect
that from a zoom.
Still, it resolves a great deal more detail than the 70-300 DG at similar
focal lengths. I can put up with that.
It's also a bit on the slow side, but at the price of a fast lens in this
length (is there one) I can live with that as well.

OC500 == full-size crop just off-center at 500mm
Lp170 & lp500 == resized of full-frame at the respective focal length
(Ok, I admit it. I'm a bit of a pixel-peeper. But I also got used to LF so
the compromises of miniature cameras still bothers me. Yes I maintain a 4x5
to this day & my shoulder has gotten stronger this past year so I might
again look into a return to 8x10. That is, if I decide to stop
reading/writing as much as I do.)
