Nice images. Which camera are you using these days? Looks suspiciously like a Canon. No problem with that just the controls dont suit me.

That's a 1dmk3 its a 1.3 crop sensor only 10 MP but turns out a good image ,I also have a 70d but prefer the other one . The other beauty of that lens is that if at any time in the future I do decide to return to the nikon fold then sigma wiill (for a charge) change the mount ,so you don't lose your favourite lens by switching camera brands

not done that much for a week or so due to bad weather ,but it did give me time to quietly sit back and analyze what i had been taking and to appraise various aspects ,first off i found that atmospherics played a large part in distortion at full range with the 70d especially over reflective surfaces i.e still water ,roads ,grass lands etc ,possibly due to the finer sensor to . with the 1D3 and its older 10mp sensor i was noticing that close shots were superb but over distance and with cropping detail was being lost even when stopped down . i threw these things around in my head for a week and came to the conclusion that the lens needed more fine tuning ,not just along the lines of M/A but the lens itself ,so yesterday i put in with the USB dock some new settings enabling different focal lengths of focus ,a finer degree of focus on the chosen point/s ,and a what sigma refer to as dynamic image stabiliser ,took it out today and to be honest the results were really good and although i might try tweaking more its definitely helped .the next one to test will be the 20mp 70d .
