Some from yesterday. Display line is a long way out from the beach and the light was very harsh so not the sharpest set aircraft shots but free to get in

I can imagine that the display line is not too near, and these are great pics; love the Tiffie.

Thanks Sean. It's the best lens in it's price range. They've set a new benchmark with it really.

Takes a bit of getting used to and on fast moving stuff it can be difficult to grab focus sometimes but unless you spend mega bucks there isn't anything better.

£789 at the moment.

Sport version, which is heavier but has slightly faster focus, dust and splash proof and apparently a bit better image quality is £1329

The tamron is the closest competitor, but most believe the Sigma just edges it.
