There is a small game reserve on the outskirts of Pretoria. I decided to go and try out the Bigma there this morning.

One of the big five (notice suburbia in the background - nice bokeh :lol4):

    Nice work Al, especially the rhino shot. You will have a good time with that lens.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Gus & Harry. One thing I'm amazed at is the number of keepers. It really is nice to be able to choose which pic is the best to show folks. As a support, all I did was to rest the lens on the window of my pickup. I'll honestly recommend this lens to anyone.

    Nice shots Al. Good job getting the exposure on the Zebra even with the backlight.
