These guys are difficult to photograph. They never stop moving and the contrast is brutal. I finally got a good picture and who knew a Cormorant had blue eyes?

Sigma have separated their three lines of lenses into Art, Sports and Contemporary lenses. The Contemporary line can use the Dock for reprogramming, just like the Art and Sports lines, unlike the non-named earlier lenses.

Its also about half the cost of the sport.. a major consideration when I purchased it.  :D
