A6700 and Sigma 500mm 5.6 - First Outing
11

I got an unexpected and welcome call yesterday from my local camera store, Roberts Photo in Indianapolis. I got their 1 copy of the brand new Sigma 500mm 5.6! I picked it up a few hours ago and heading out for testing.

Friends, what a glorious test morning I was presented with!

Spent the morning watching a mating pair of Eastern Phoebes playing at courtship along our creek bed. As you can see, the male gave the female a substantial gift!

Photos with slight edits to taste and using Lightroom AI Enhance as my normal workflow.

Video to follow once i can complete upload.  And at the end will be shots with my A6700 and adapted Canon 400mm F4 DO II to compare IQ.

I wasn't planning on dropping the money, but the results speak for themselves.  Likely selling the Canon to recoup funds and save my back!
