But yes, anything showing me how good the Bigma is, is great for me, because I want to make the right choice. These images are top notch Rog. I particularly like the second Starling. If it's that a good quality image with WABs image compression, the file itself must be excellent.
May I ask what distance you are from the feeding station?

Thanks Nick. In my opinion if you want to use the lens for dragons, damsels and butterflies as well as birds you can't go wrong with the Bigma, it's an excellent all round lens as Graham's images on WAB show.
I'm not very good at guessing distance but I would say I'm only around 6 yards from the birds for these. In fact I have to back off the Bigma to around 400/450mm to get all of a Starling in the frame. I can get them in at 500mm but they have to be sat just at the right angle to do it.
