Thanks!

I've been eyeing the new sigma 150-600 5-6.3 sport (canon ef). So I found a place up in Boulder that rents it. I'll be saving some pennies to buy it in the next few months. There can't be a better mega zoom for the money. It's not a low light rig for sure. But if your not scared of iso 500-1400 it will not disappoint!

Strapped to my 70d it worked out to a zoom of 240-960. All of those were hand held. The IS is wicked good (2 options).

I have some tripod mounted stills that are tack sharp.

Cheers,
Jackson

Well, you used it well. Were the ones you posted shot at high ISOs? Camera technology has advanced since my D200.
