Hi Paul, Thanks for looking. There's a link to a crop of the coal basket blown up to 100% on the page, as well as a link to a full-size jpg of the whole image. The image is slightly cropped on the left and top, btw, to remove half a stone and some odd looking cloud.
My opinion on the Sigma is that is is pleasingly sharp, but not as contrasty as I could wish. The coating doesn't cope very well with uplight and flares quickly in bright sunlight. I plan to post more examples though. with other lenses. I don't think I've ever posted to photo.net, so that must be someone else...Jostein Moene maybe? (I think this one got lost in cyberspace on first attempt. This is a resend. Sorry for duplicates.)
