i also have a Samyang fisheye 8mm, a stunning optic for the price, worth every penny.

Cheap is expensive ...
when it is a total waste of money, that lens is.
Certain u right Joe, just bought wifey a nikon d510, not had chance to compare yet.
that 650-1300 sure good for clubbing robbers though!
Made by Samyang in Korea, not really useable beyond 900mm as it bends in the middle when set on a tripod and camera body attached.
Moonshots and that's it. Samyang also sell a preset 500mm F8 lens, very cheap, difficult to focus but excellent value. Forget the cat. or mirror lens, this is definitely cheaper and better. It's been around at least 40 years under various names, Optomax was one.
A useful addition is a min. extension tube, makes it ok for birds in garden etc.

But, we've grown out of it, and live in a secular society now, christianity is dead here, a lost cause, no longer taught in schools, past it's sell by date and in the bin.

The fact that there are so many different interpretations on the nature of God (as well as the number of gods there are) indicates to me that God is a fictional, invented being.
It comes down to who has the best imaginary friend.

The bible was written by Man, not god.
Why should the bible be THE reference book?
The Koran is a later addition, so by definition is more up to date.
Man made god, god did not make Man.
Islam was 'invented' 500 years after christianity and is behaving as christians did 500 years ago.
Also this letter is a spoof, I have seen so many like it, from some extreme right wing christian source, just ignore it.
I'll go with the Sigma, a fab. lens and one of my favourites,
buy the cheaper one it's better and more functional,
Enjoy.

My mouse just did that last week. I now have a Nikkor 80-200 F2.8 D ED in my hands & a 10-20mm F4-5.6 Sigma on the way...You will enjoy the 105 macro. Optically as good as the Nikon. Build wise maybe a step down, but not much. The Nikon will hold it's value better.... I use KEH for many of my used lens purchases. Had you looked there?

My mouse took control of itself and was wandering all over the screen. Reminded me of a Ouji Board. Wouldn't you know, but it hovered over "Place Order" and activated it. Looks like I'll have a Sigma 105 Macro in a few days. I hope its better than the two Quantaray's sitting under a pile of dust.

I have been contemplating the 150 Sigma (simply because it has the tripod mount) I hope I have the same phenomenon occur on my screen!
sorry, just read last reply re. price!
