I want to see my ad!! Glad it looks ok. I was worried it would be too dark.

My E-3 is great for the pet work. I loved my E-1 too, but, this makes shooting much easier. It locks on and does a great job.

What would make the Sigma not work for pet portraits?

That's interesting to hear about the E-3, I will have to add that to my short-list.

The Sigma is fine and captures incredibly high quality images but the buffer fills way too quickly. After five shots, in RAW or JPEG the camera takes quite a while to clear the buffer to the card. The card doesn't really matter either, I use a 8GB Lexar 300x UDMA card, it's just plain slow. It takes just over 30 seconds to fully clear. It is possible to shoot single photos while it makes space but it can be frustrating...

It is workable but being limited by the camera can make the difference between getting "the" shot or not. In my opinion anyway...

That said, here is one that captured of my neighbour's dog. Roxy is her name and she is a whirlwind of excitement and tough to capture. (Captured with the SD14)
