just a lazy morning @ Hong Kong Park. Typhoon signal 1 was hoisted, and the sun kept peeking out for a few seconds while it rained 3 times in the 2hrs i was there...

i brought the 150-500mm out for a spin just so it's not gathering dust, and i'm glad i did because many people don't believe a Sigma 500mm lens for under $1000US can take photos that sharp, especially not under such weather with not enough light. but i'm telling you. it does, and it's that sharp. and more so, it's almost all handheld(monopod on a few) and using AF.

(the flora macros are with the always amazing 150mm f2.8. again a Sigma. i really hate it when amateurs keep thinking the only lens that can take a good shot are Canons or Nikons. i disagree. for thousands[HKD] less, i can't see any visible comparable differences.)
