The more I use this Sigma 70 -200 F/2.8, the more I'm convinced Sigma
have now gotten their act together in a big way.

Nikon D60, hand held, ISO 200, 1/80th at F/3.5. The bee is just inside
the hyper focal distance when focusing on the flower.

Dunno: I still don't like the bokeh
of this lens.  Although sharp-wise,
it's very good.
BTW: so is the 12-24,which I've been
using for a while now. And it works in
both film and DX format!

The background bokeh doesn't look like what you would expect at f/3.5.
In fact, it almost looks like what you might expect from a crappy
Panasonic P&S.
Care to post the RAW file?

Hey Noons, are you going to put up with this cross-posting?

Nope.

Some a.shole has put a big ugly copyright notice right over your picture.
