Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 EX APO DG IF HSM - Fix True Pixels

At 100 percent detail, these quick RAW adjustments to the zoom 120-300mm f/2.8's image cleaned it up significantly. It's still not quite as clean and crisp as the prime 300mm's capture, but it's closer to the prime. The zoom offers a lot of versatility, while the prime offers better out-of-the-box image quality with less post-processing fixes.
