First shots from Sigma 135 Art

[Eldar]

As I reported in another thread, the AF inconsistency I experienced with the other Art-lenses I have used is very much apparent with the 135/1.8. These are shot at oneshot, tripod mounted, focused on the white text on black background. this is a heavy crop and after a fairly thorough manual AFMA. FoCal did not work properly. The ISO should have been lower, but that does not change the AF result.

I'm intrigued that you get pictures of snowdrops in April. Where are you? They finished in February here in southern England.

Nice pics; full of envy over the ospreys; we don't get them here, only in Scotland and a few parts of northern England.

Those are in Vermont. They were the last of the snowdrops. Not so far off from normal timing here.
