oh well... seems this will be another tech-entry to my bLog. this time it's about the sigma lens i got today, delivered by the postman (ringing two times!) at 07:00 in the morning. brrrr.... so i got the pretty huge package with my sigma 70-300/F4-5.6 APO DG MACRO(*) lens for my eos inside. though low-cost equipment, i was told it is a good lens, and what i get is absolutely ok for the price i paid. here are some sample pics with my standard lens (18-55mm) and the new sigma (70-300mm) so one can get an impression of the zoom-factor. 018mm & 055mm 070mm & 300mm perfect. i really like it. additionally it's pretty light-weight (530g) and small (76.6x119.5mm). it perfectly fits into my bag along with the cam with the other lens applied to it. i'm sure this will be very useful in the future... oh... and of course the obligatory picture of lilo ;) the poor little cat didn't notice i was taking a picture of her, because otherwise she would have ran away. instead she was looking curious in my direction as i called her name. guess she wanted something to munch. thanks to the long distance i had, she was not suspecting anything unusual. meow, gotcha!
