Thanks very much, your (wife's?) Red Squirrel & Wagtail are pretty impressive too!

Thanks for these shots - they're great! Seems it is possible to get decent shots with less than 'L' glass then!
Might be of interest but you will have to be quick:-

I am glad I read this this evening. I bought the Sigma 70-300 apo last week and used it over the weekend at a game fair near me and was very impressed. I havent used it in macro yet. Bought it because I can't afford the 120-400 at the moment but am gald to see results such as those above

Bob,
You may know this already but this lens has an inherent sticking macro problem when you try to switch it back to normal.
My lens isn't as bad as some I've read about but when it does stick I switch it to manual focus and zoom in and out until it frees itself. Hope this helps.
