Here are few images made with the Df + sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art.

I like this zoom although it's no very popular.

Hey, I really like this flower shot!

Well, always people blame lens they don't ever use ! I've heard some complaints about the slow AF. I admit that some times the AF needs a very contrasty area to work. And most of complainers point out the vignetting ( which can be easily sorted out with a good software).

I actually bought this lens to take pictures of a wedding of my GF daughter as I didn't want to change prime lenses every 5 minutes.(it was an official photographer to cover it), so just for my pleasure. (I didn't take any pics in the church as I didn't want to bother him).

So, I planned to resale it after the event, but I found it so convenient (and optically good) that I am not sure I will resale it ! ;D

It's perfect fot travel. :)

Sten, I'd go for the sailing with wind :)
Lovely contrasty photo you made there!
I guess a 135mm lens is a must...

I think it comes from the processing with Gimp. I didn't add any glow.The raw is in UK, I  just arrived in France (hence this late answer !), and I am not able to check it. ;)

Cheers, Francis.

Here is an image of a meeting/mating of Zygaenia fausta.

I used the micro nikkor 100mm f/4.

I really enjoy this sharp and light (in weight and price) lens. :)

This one will follow me wherever I go !
