I`m on my second one now. ;D


Changed from Canon to Nikon a few weeks back;I sold my 7D and Sigma,and went for a Nikon D7100 and another nice new Sigma.
I love this lens,you might find it a bit heavy until you get used to it,but it produces fantastic results.

Hi Dec enjoy the new lens. Mine was damaged beyond repair and the insurance resulted in me getting the Canon 100-400 inspired by some quality shots by one of our own on this site. I have the Sigma remains so there are some spare parts if anyone needs anything.

Then at the tail end of last week I had the sudden passing of my Canon EFS 17-85mm lens and I was forced into a replacement. I opted for the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS. It arrived yesterday and I took a couple of test shots straight out of the box. One with a Kood Close up lens attached. This was hand held and a breeze blowing so I was very pleased.

I need to get both lenses out and about.
