[QUOTE="hark, post: 253831, member: 13196"] [b]Re: Advice pls[/b] I have the Sigma. It's a great lens, but it does have its drawbacks. In comparison to my Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6, the Nikon is MUCH better overall. I can definitely see a big difference in image quality when comparing photos from both lenses. Granted, it isn't a fair comparison because both lenses are different focal lengths, but I notice the difference when compared with other Nikon lenses, too. That said...it IS a constant f/2.8 lens, it does work nicely in low light situations, and it's an excellent value for the price! :) You need to decide what will work best for your situation. This lens does have the onion bokeh. :( Here is a 100% crop shot at f/4 which will give you an idea of its background. It reminds me of Monet's style of painting. [ATTACH type="full"]68872._xfImport[/ATTACH] In the following photo, I used the Gaussian Blur tool to smooth some of it out--and at least with photo editing, you can adjust the bokeh somewhat: [ATTACH type="full"]68873._xfImport[/ATTACH] And here is one [B]without[/B] having its bokeh edited: [ATTACH type="full"]68875._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
