Re: butterfly

I am going against the grain on this one - its a bit dark especially on the underside and is a little soft. Whilst the Sigma is a great lens, I wouldn't use it for butterflies or dragonflies, too heavy for small creatures and you cant get close enough with the min focus distance. My 300 f4 with or without the converter remains my lense of choice for these

I thought perhaps that might be the case.
