The rodeo assoc. wants a gallery in sepia. No problemo!!
I think they're kinda "old time" and really pop for 'pegs.
More and more requests of late...go figure?!

A quick pic of one my seven year old daughters on the way home the other night. The sun was dropping fast after a severe thunderstorm moved through the area. We pulled off the road and grabbed a few shots.

Just couple of random questions about the lens and those who has it. Can you use a converter on it, says 1.4x or 1.7x? That would make a F2.8 lens? The lens has no OS. Do you find it difficult to hand holding it and getting sharp images?

Wouldn't recommend it if you could. No.
One hander from the dance floor...
could have gone down to 1/100th if we were both standing still.

This lens really is a game changer. Before I'd be shootin' the 70-200 f2.8 VR II
on the D800/D810 at twice the ISO to get this shot. Happy times!!

nice shots

I'm looking to purge a lot of unused glass and this one is on the "trade up to list". There really isn't much reason to own a 25-85 vrg or 35-70 with this lens. It's not like I spent much on either and could still hang on to a 28-85.

Did she ever have any wardrobe malfunctions? I'm not that is on the recommended list of what to wear while participating in a rodeo.

Thanks. If you have a D810 or one of the 800's the lens is quite remarkable in 1.2 crop mode.
The only knock on it (for some) is it's size...just be aware of that going in.

not even. This is the wild West and very typical attire for this event. They have bikini races every
Summer. The Jackpot races ($$$) really bring out the wardrobes/makeup/bling. Lookin' sexy is
intimidating to those less adorned...very competitive women, and obviously a joy to cover. My 'gift'
(if you will) is capturing the emotion and intensity of horse and rider in a timely fashion. No pun, eh?!

Lenses from each vintage have their own signature. Sepia toning was popular from the 1870s into the 1890s. The common lens then was the Rectilinear, with the Petzval still being the popular lens for portraits. (Both lenses were uncoated, giving low contrast and a softer look.) The photo you posted is a great one, but is instantly recognizeable as being made with a modern multi-element, multicoated lens. If you really are after "old time," find a rapid rectilinear lens on ebay (common on Kodak folders of 1900-1920 vintage) and have it put into Nikon F by SK Grimes. That will give you something truly unique--you could be the only one doing rodeos with such a lens (except maybe me.)

I've got a 15-30 Tamron and I shoot a 600mm f4 handheld. I think I will be able to manage the weight.

That lens is making me contemplate acquiring a DX camera. In the short time I've used it, I found it to be a terrific optic.

Finally got a chance yesterday to try some indoor volleyball with the Sigma 50-100. This is a shot of my daughter during a pre-season scrimmage.

Just received this lens today.
What a beautiful piece of glass. It's a beauty just to hold and look at.

Didn't expect it to be so heavy. Look forward to spending a day or two sitting with it.
