New equipment

[vroom_skies]

Got some new parts a few days ago:

- Sigma 70-200 EX 2.8 Macro
- Pentax D-BG2 grip (Plus two more batteries and a ND .6 filter)

So far... it's heavy lol

Congratz! Have any shots with it yet?

Thanks Sean.
I have only taken basic shots as of now, but here they are:

Nice DoF samples. Most are taken wide open to F4 right? I'm really diggin' the first one.

 

[vroom_skies]

Thanks
Yup, 1,2 & 4 were wide open at 2.8 and number 3 was at F4.
I'm fairly pleased with the way the lens renders bokeh.

Damn, how much did that set you back?

Great shots too.

 

[Sean]

Probably around $800 or so, but worth it.

Whoops, sorry for not responding.
The lens, grip and filter were a little shy of 1K

Expensive, but it's an expensive hobby.

Why yes it most certainly is. That is if you do it right. Nice new toy you have there and, the shots are nice as well. Is that lens a crop lens or FX/Film? I havent really looked at that one.

Thanks!
Yup, last time I checked the lens is a FX lens.
I'm on vacation right now at Marthas Vineyard, so I'll have some new shots when I return.
