We recently spent a few days shooting with Sigma's new ultra-fast 85mm prime. All images were shot in RAW with a Canon EOS 7D and converted to JPEG using Adobe Lightroom 3. No exposure or sharpening adjustments have been made. These small bat decals were stuck on the inside of a window with a screen behind it. The shot was taken in the early evening with overcast skies. Tech specs: Canon EOS 7D, 1/100 sec at f/1.4. ISO 100.
