    Examples of my Sigma 70-300mm lens

    Just popped down to the river to take some sample shots with my D50 and my new Sigma 70-300mm lens.

    These shots are nothing special just a test to see the kind of zoom and quality they offer.









    Have not fully tested the Macro side of the lens yet but will over the next couple of days.
