I took the beast (the new 2KG Sigma 50-500 OS) into work one day and went out late in the afternoon to try a few long range (most of these take at or near 500mm (750mm equiv on my crop camera) - except the first at a paltry 116mm) handheld architecture details.

Wow and wowser - sharp as and absolutely wonderful colour. These shots are the kind that would impress someone to buy this lens.

I am thinking about a long lens at the moment and these shots look great. I think I will add this lens to my list.

Must admit I impressed too very nice

hmm, some very nice examples from this lens.
Thanks for posting them.

I quite like these photographs

Thanks - still very happy with the purchase although I havn't had a chance to test it for it's original purpose (wildlife and sports) so I'll see how the AF responds with moving targets

Looking very good there Rodney.....the desire to get a long lens is strong now......

Are these for use with your J1?
Otherwise they seem a little short to me.

Definitely with the J1...that is why I purchased that FT1 adaptor!

That lens is pretty bloody sharp! And you are exploiting it beautifully!
