Hey guys, I thought it was ME that was supposed to get excited over a new lens!!


Now that's a lens. I suggest lifting weights and working out while waiting for delivery. If it's not sharp you can always use it for batting practice. :thumbup:

Just wondering if anyone here has used the "SigMonster" as its called. The Sigma 800mm F5.6 EX APO HSM lens. I have been reading reviews and ogling it for some time now and finally pulled the trigger on one this morning and was just looking for a little first hand info.
All the reviews I have seen compare it essentailly equally to the Nikon 600mm F4 when used at F5.6 and out. Sure hoping that is true. I should have it by the end of next week, they ship directly from Sigma, Japan this Friday.

Color me green.....would love to see a moon shot of the upper right quadrant with the ragged curvature outlined against the black sky.

I obviously won't be buying that lens anytime soon (even though it would be fun to own). It cost almost 60% of my gross wages I made last year!!

What? a 275.6 in minimum focusing distance? You'll NEVER be able to take good indoor low light party shots with that!...what a piece of crap!..I'm sticking with my 50mm f/1.8!
Your an Idiot!
