nice one Bob, super sharp! where did you find this creature!

I saw a guy last weekend who has the same lens (sigma) as you, very sweet lens! 1500 CDN.. ouch!

maybe next year., but it really is an awesome lens.

Hi,
Thanks Ray,
Just trip to a wildlife park I'm afraid.Its difficult to get them to look like they are in the wild, but thats the fun of it I suppose.
As for the lens I really am delighted with it.It is heavy though (over 4lbs) but with such a large focal range I can leave the other lenses in the car.
I would recommend it to anybody.
