Feedback

I have found f8 is the sharpest f stop on this lens Sigma 150-600 (only Objection it’s a little heavy) great lens for the money. They just came out with a new one a 60-600 I hear good things about it. I figure it would not move around quickly so I set the light up for one stop less that the reading. I don’t remember the exact shutter speed I used but I like to drag my shutter for the ambient light. The will fire at a high shutter speed and freeze the subject.
