    Hi Angad,
    You have a lovely collection of raptor images here. The 50-500 seems to handle the lighting in India very well.

    You hope we liked them.... Main question to you, how can we not like these pictures??' They are gorgeous man!!! All of them.... It looks like this sigma lens is doing very well on a 40D and with the skills of the photographer!! Well done, this post is just splendid!

    @ Rajesh, Ian, Frank, Mary, Sharon, Tom & Chris: A big thanks for liking the images.

    @TOM: The Sig 50-500mm is a beauty. Only drawback is no OS. People complain of it being a biggie, but my question to them would be, if you cant hand-hold a 50-500mm, what would you do with a prime? :D

    @CHRIS: Yup, the Sig 50-500mm works very well on the 40D, was an absolute CRACKER on my Canon 1D MkII, sadly that cam is no more. I actually don't even have a cam at the moment, need to save up to buy one.
