Morning all,
After months of deliberating I've now taken the plunge and bought a Sigma 500 F4.5 EX APO USM. It's a mint 2nd hand one and is really good condition.
I'm currently testing it to ensure sharpness and have played around a bit with micro camera calibration (I use mainly a Canon 7D but occasionally a 5D Mk1).
My question is, how to you guys and gals who've got one of these lenses hold them study??
I normally use a Manfrotto Monopod with the Manfrotto Gimbal equivalent but not sure if it's solid enough.
I've got a Benbo Mk1 Tripod as well as a Trekker but of course there is extra weight and carrying involved.
I'd be interested to find out how you all get such amazingly sharp images?
Many thanks,
Graham.
