First on the new lens

[jeffashman]

I decided to get a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens, and chose this shot as my official first shot. I have never seen one of these before, so it's a first first on the new lense. It is a Northern Shrike, and it did me the honor of staying put while I got a set of shots of it.

Sigma 150-600mm C on OS 90D @600mm f/6.3 1/1250 (was looking for BIFs) ISO 200

Looks great!

Coincidentally, I'm getting that exact same lens delivered tomorrow for my little Sony A6500. Glad to see sharpness at 600mm despite all the reviews!

You got the wrong lens Jeff!
RGB stands for red + green + blue… where are the first two?

Red and green weren't in my budget...

Good looking first shot! Is it handheld, or tripod?

Thanks! Hand held. I decided late in the afternoon that I'd go out for a walk, and so I just took the camera with that lens attached. Wasn't expecting much, because the birds have been scarce this winter for the most part.

Cool little birds, aren't they?! I captured one recently myself. I don't see them often so they're a treat when I do. To me they look like little bandits with black masks. Nice lens there, bud, the pic is nice and sharp. Be happy and well.
