loving my new Sigma lens

I took my camera today & went for a walk around the Buheira Corniche district in Sharjah. As I walked by the promenade, I met many people who were very pleased to be subjects for my new Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lens. Two days ago I went into an electronics shop to test this lens, not having in mind the least intention to buy it at 800$. I went out of the shop having it in my hand!

I’ve read many reviews about this lens and it has been on my shopping list since I bought my first DSLR camera. Amazing I would describe it. People has been saying that it can easily compete with the 1200$ Canon 70-200 f2.8 and it surely does. To a person who’s doing photography as a hobby, Sigma is fairly cheap and perfect. To a professional, the brand name counts though I shouldn’t say that Canon 70-200  is not truly the best lens out there.

After I had a look at the photos today, I was excited at the results. There are few things to be avoided in the future for sure, but the overall evaluation was okay to me, taking into consideration the successful attempts to shoot all those people I met, without any difficulties.

One last thing of course, you might be interested in checking my flickr account to have a look at the photos. I’d like to hear your comments on them.
