Good to know.I will be looking for a new lens soon.Thanks for sharing & I hope you continue to enjoy your lens!
I have been using the lens for portraits and it is excellent. I don't want to post pictures of people, however I took a quick pic of a flower in my yard to demonstrate color, detail and bokeh.

Hi Karl, I can't help but comment on your photo of the Balsams. We used to go there all the time in the summer. Hope it reopens soon.
Have fun with your newest edition to your lens family!

We would stay there for three days every spring and we hope the massive construction job doesn't result in loss of the original charm. It was always a great place for photographs.

Have had sigma lenses, never had any problems. Enjoy the area (NH)
Thanks. I may be headed to Pennsylvania in the next couple of weeks. Travel trailers there appear to be a better deal than up here. I can also visit my sister in Blue Belle.

You said that you "...can't afford the very best in quality lenses..."
It seems to me that buying Sigma and Nikon lenses makes that a false statement!

What I intended to say is that some people can afford the very best of the Nikon and Sigma lenses. I have to look for "The best I can afford". However, I don't believe I am expert enough to tell the difference. Thanks for the comment

Sounds as if you're fixed for photographing the beautiful area you live in.
Yes, it is beautiful here in Northern New Hampshire. My wife's family moved to South Carolina and it is beautiful there also. Especially when I visit in the winter. Thanks for the comments.

I can't afford the very best in quality lenses so I am always looking for a value purchase. I purchased a Sigma 24-70 2.8 EXDG Macro lens from KEH Camera two weeks ago and I am delighted. KEH rated the lens EX+ and it appears and functions as brand new. I could not afford a Nikon 24-70 2.8 so I am trying the Sigma and saved at least $1200. This constitutes my first Sigma and my first KEH lens purchase and both have been great experiences.
My low level Trinity now consists of a Nikon 12-24 f4, Sigma 24-70 f2.8 and a Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6 VR. I use these on my D7000.
I read this forum everyday and learn much. Thank all of you for sharing your opinions. It continuously helps me.

Boy, do I ever agree with that! Take it a step further and cut back on the useless remarks (and worse, and worser). This should be a friendly, well lighted place for folks interested in photography, at all levels. I see FAR too much sniping leading to flame wars over absolutely nothing. It's a wonder to me that many people stick around at all! "If you haven't anything nice to say, say nothing!" :)
Rant over. :hunf: :mrgreen: :shock:

I use to admire clever and smart people. However, I now find myself admiring kind people more.

I purchased a new in box Nikon 105 mm 2.8 Al-s on eBay for $250.00. This is a manual focus lens that has allowed me to get into close up photography without a major expense.
I often see used lenses for less than $200.
It works well on my D 7000, but I would suggest you check the compatibility for your camera.
Good luck.

Jim, I just came in from shooting photos of a large group of "Redpoll's" that ventured into the yard. I wish I had your method in mind a few minutes ago. I am headed back out and hope they return.
Thank you for the ingenious idea.

Mac, Thank you for the post. I created a topic on this issue and got a lot of feedback. However, I am still going to use Aperture until I get a better handle on exactly what the new program will do.

For the sake of exporting what I have currently in the Aperture Library I feel I need to wait to evaluate what Apple is going to introduce. Kind of like I am now a prisoner to Apple. Damn.

I found a promo on Corel's AfterShot2. I bought it and am trying it. Corel has a FREE trial also. I'm not a fan of iPhoto and doubt I'll love Apple's new replacement either.
About subscription software: I don't think I'd use it enough to justify $120 a year to rent the software. I may end up buying Lightroom.

Dan. Same here. I cannot get myself to lease a car. I must be overly possessive.
