I got a new lens – a Sigma 70-300 APO Macro II – so I’ve been trying it out. So far, I’m very impressed – it’s a great big heavy thing, but the optical quality seems very good, and without the vignetting I’ve seen with some telephoto zooms. I went around Manchester today and got a few nice pictures with it, which you can see here, should you be interested in that sort of thing. I’ve been wanting to get some geometric architecture type pictures for a while now, but lacking a telephoto lens meant that I always got extraneous detail in the picture, which interrupted the smooth, clean geometric look I was aiming for. I think these ones, though, have come out very well.

It would seem that this is my 100th entry. Yay me, then.
