Re: Lens Decision time.....Bigma....or....?

Trigger pulled. The sigma is headed my way. Given the dificulty I had finding it (sold out at B&H, Androma, and lots of other online retailers), lots of others made the same decision. Paid $749 at Abes of Maine (one of the few places that had it in stock). Now to find a good price on some used 1...

Re: Lens Decision time.....Bigma....or....?

I'm in a similar spot. Down to the Sigma 70-200 2.8 or the Sony 70-200 2.8 G. Do I part with the extra $1000 US? I think I know the answer, but waiting to pull the trigger.........

Photo Challenge #15 Self Portrait - Winner chosen

Didn't seem to be any restrictions on who could start one, so I did. Break out you self timers, mirrors, and cable releases. On this challenge, it's time to turn those lenses around and see if we have any budding Andy Worhols out there. I did this "challenge" on another forum with great re...

Re: a350 oil on sensor

This happened to me too. It was worth paying a pro to take it off for me ($80). The penatly for failure here is too high for me to screw it up.

Re: Ebay Score...

Still thinking about it. Teamed with a 2x coverter, and my existing lenses, will give me the ability to cover 99.99% of m...
