These photos are right from the camera except for cropping, no PP. Unless they were cut down in outer space they can be enlarged to really see the detail. I wish I could send the raw pictures they are better yet.

Been thinking about one of these, actually the less expensive model. Any comments on the lens? Weight, ease of use, quirks, etc.? -- Results look great!

I bought the Sport because of the better build and dock system. Also Sport was in stock but not the Contemporary. Weight was no problem being I always use a gimbal. Quality of the pictures should be the same on the Contemporary. Check the focus, mine was perfect.

I tried a Tamron before I got a Sigma so I had pictures to compare. Sigma was much better. You need pictures taken from both lenses and taken with the same camera.

Thanks everyone. When it comes to birds I think mother nature done a good job with color so I don't like to change them.
