Hi Ed:

I have no trouble shooting wildlife with my Sigma Cameras. In my early life I shot Sports shots with a twin lens Rolliecord. I guess I do not understand people who talk about how slow the Sigma camera is and it's poor auto-focus. We did not have that 'good' stuff in the old film days and still got good shots. I attach here a few wild life shots done with the Sigma SD1M. Don't let anyone say the you can not shoot wildlife with Sigma Cameras!
