Unfortunately, the Sigma 80-200 zoom that I chose to use

on this morning does not have the greatest depth of filed of all the lenses out there! Even at focal length of 139mm and at f.7.1 I could not get the foreground in focus. There are zooms available that will do this but even used ones cost upwards of a thousand pounds so justifying the purchase of one is not on the agenda! 221102 'John Cabot' passes between Roade and Ashton working the 05.50 Birmingham New Street to Euston on a glorious but chilly spring morning.
