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!

SWEET!

Thanks Larry for the vote of confidence using the 'ole Sigma SD1M (Merrill), shooting wildlife...

These to me look very nice, and the Giraffe - WOW ! What detail !

Thanks for sharing -

It is very encouraging, and some shot too at ISO 800 ...

Curious (if you recall) - Did you shoot using "AUTO ISO", as it would cover the range up to and including ISO 800?

I really appreciate you taking the time to post these photos.

Have a nice day / evening -

Ed
