Sigma 120-300 f2.8 EX APO DG IF HSM

Canon 1DMiiN with Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM. 1/400 @ f/5 ISO 400 at 157mm -- Even stopped down slightly to f/5 and pretty close to widest focal length, notice how shallow the plane of critical focus is. Both bikers are sharp, even at a slowish shutter speed for action-stopping, but the walker in the background is soft-edged.
