I own several Sigma lenses and the company has grown recently by introducing their new concept of Contemporary, Art and Sport lens classification. While Contemporary is their consumer (budget) area, the Art and Sport series represent high class lens builds having Art labeled lenses in the lower focal length area and Sport classifying the tele […]

Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM
Recently bought a Sigma 10-20f3.5 ultra-wide for DX. Together with my Sigma 30f1.4 this would give a light combination for walking trips in cities and also for landscape shots using the D7200. The 30f1.4 proves absolutely fantastic sharpness on DX but would need company for wide angles. This one entry is purely focussing on the […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 7: D7...
Introduction Second series with this combo is using the zooms at 600mm, main reason to buy such zooms. The Nikkor was again equipped with the TC-17II and set to 350mm which results in 600mm. The full pictures The camera was set to 100 ISO, it’s native ISO setting. All pictures taken with an aperture of f6.3 for the […]

Introduction Another game to start. Recently purchased D7200 looks promising from the specs. I had the D7100 before and annoying thing was the 24MPix sensor together with the telezooms and the buffer 0f 6 pictures which is ridiculous for shooting wildlife. The D7200 offers up to 18 pictures buffer with 12-Bit colour depth. That does […]

Introduction Fourth test series is with the D800 but this time using 400mm focal length. This test allowed me to include the Nikkor 200-400 without a TC. The full pictures The camera was set to 200 ISO, it’s native ISO setting. All pictures taken with an aperture of f6.3 for the Nikkor, Sigma and Tamron, the Nikkor with […]

Introduction Third test series is with the D800. The Pixelmonster. Allows easily to crop to the D2x resolution from a 400mm picture. However, the camera is slow in picture rate and not as well handled as the D3. I mainly use it for landscapes and general photography. However, bird shots are quite nice as it allows […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 3: D3...
Introduction Second test series is with the D3. I used this camera for all pictures I shot during the Masai Mara trip using the Nikkor 200-400. Incredible results with that combination. Very good at higher ISO and also very high picture rate (you hardly miss a frame). The handling is outstanding. The full pictures The Nikkor […]

Introduction First test series is with the D2x. My normally used Crop-Camera. Unfortunately Nikon does not build semi-professional crop-cameras anymore. A modern 16Mpix crop-camera with either D2x or at least D300s body would be something I’d definitely would buy. The D7100 which I had for some months was good but the sensor did have too […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 & Tamron 150-600 (Part 1)
Finally received my Sigma 150-600 Sport this week. Weather was ok to run a Test with the three Telelenses on all my used cameras. [singlepic id=5423 w= h= float=center] Cameras used were D2x, D3 and D800. All three lenses were tested with each camera. The target was a selfmade board having a printed testchart, a […]
