    a friend has lent me his canon 1D mk4 for the weekend to evaluate ,the first couple of test shots on the obligatory seagulls look good to me ,just bolted the lens on and away no other adjustments needed .certainly improves the i.q instantly ,just now need to test properly on a 7d2 to find out...

    New Sigma 150/600

    Done it all thanks John ,live view / a.f. / manual. Up and down the m.a scale like piano tuner ,it works totally fine with other lenses just not this one ,in fact it's razor sharp with the sigma up to a certain distance then the shots just go to mush , if it was my technique I wouldn't be...

    New Sigma 150/600

    It really does make me wonder though ,as you can see from my photos above and others I have a sharp lens even with t.c fitted BUT only on my 1D3 ,if I had only had my 70d to test it on it would have Been long gone .so it would seem there are some compatability issues occurring . Roy says...
