    Just bought my first long(ish) telephoto lens - Sigma 50-150mm, F2.8 all the way through. I'm not a great fan of third party lenses normally, but this is my first attempt with it. Forgot to adjust WB and used ISO 640 in the house. I've cropped and levelled the RAW file, but not sharpened or de-noised. Quite pleased with initial result, although shan't really know till I've used it a bit more.

    Taken with my 100 sigma 50-200, absolute bargain of a lens, shot isn't pin-sharp as I was squatting when I took this.
