its "ok" - for that money i dont think i could get anything better. BUT the focus is quite slow and below f8 the image is "soft" - as well as over 200mm...how's the sigma 70-300 treating you? Can you give me a review-ish description?
The blur effect is off. And i don't like the lighting in this one. Where are the shadows?
Yeah, opinion is split on this one. Some people really like the blur and others really don't! Me, I'm not sure. And as for the shadows, it was a really overcast day and I didn't have any kit with me.
Never fake DoF, it's always painfully obvious.
