My first shots with the Sigma 150-500 were awful. Then when I got the DA300 my initial keeper rate went way down.

Think we need to wait a little to see what Tom can get out of this lens.
.....or we could all shell out £6 grand, & see if our copy is any better........

I started replying to this thread but it became a rantfest...but to summarise:

Make sure your technique is absolutely nailed before worrying about your gear (unless your bank balance is such that it doesn't matter).
QUITE!

Starling don't make meat pies but if they did, they'd be the best pies in the world.

Probably....

At a farm on Salisbury Plain yesterday afternoon.
Thousands of starlings in the sheds with the cattle.
Difficult lighting, the combination of gloomy shed interior with bright sunshine outside.
Did my best!

Hope you like them.

All K5 150-500. Edited & cropped in PSE11.
