Woohoo....look what I just bought!

Sigma 100-300mm f4 APO HSM EX lense. It's as much as ?650 in the shops, but I brought this barely used example on eBay for ?310! Not bad IMO. On my D70, it should give a focal length of between 150mm and 450mm because of the 1.5x magnification factor of the CCD Now I can finally fill the frame when I take motorsport pictures.

I've knabbed these examples from another persons eBay auction showing what the thing can do

I think I'll be using this thing all the time despite the rather heafty 1.3kg weight! The softness of the backgrounds is stunning though. I'm dead excited!

Looks great.

Cept, what did u do to that guy's head, in photoshop?

Wow nice buy dude. That thing is huge though!

226.5mm to be exact I wanted a high quality lense though, so I think it's worth it!

Here are the specs btw: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3273&navigator=3

Maybe its some sort of show at a theme park like Disney World or something like that. Like waterworld show at one of the theme parks in California.

Works for me only if I right click the thing and click 'view image'. Then I can see them.
