Yeah Tim, but you didn't tell all about the Southerly that saved us in the early evening though. That was a miracle. Temps went from 108F where I live to about 77F in about half an hour.
Today i've been playing around with my sigma 24-70. Lately i've almost shot exclusively with the nikkor 17-55, since that's such a nice lens. But with an imperative FX camera that will be no good. So i've pulled the sigma from the shelf to start shooting with it again. It's nice. Next to the metal shot i posted in the challenge thread i shot these flowers on our coffee table. I think my sigma will do fine on a FX camera. But that's just because i'm so lucky to buy the sigmas without any issues i guess (or i just don't recognize them)
here's the shot http://raymond.smugmug.com/photos/461351140_6vk5d-X2.jpg
