ewraven ewraven Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/30/02 Posts: 45345 Loc: Dept. of Ruminant Procurement	Looks like they discounted their lenses across the board at every retailer you look at. The only thing though, the new 18-35 F1.8 is not discounted. The rest are up to 200 dollars off though. I hope I didn't make a mistake, I ordered the Sigma 150-500mm F/5-6.3 APO HSM DG for $869 dollars, which is 200 off the regular price. I am going to play with it outside a little bit and see if I like it. If I don't, I can always return it. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

Few FX ones have that discount. Oh okay. That is too bad. I got that Sigma 150-500mm today. Holy big lens BATMAN! My first impression is that the Optical stabilization works better than any I have ever used. I called my local camera store, they put my name down to call me when they get their first shipment of Sigma 18-35 F1.8 lenses. I am going to see if I can trade in some of my other glass towards one. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

I'd rather take that 800 dollars and buy one of the 18-35mm Sigma lenses. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

WELLLLLL. I took ~1100 pictures today through that 150-500mm Sigma. I was on the San Marcos River taking pictures of the Texas Water Safari canoes as they passed by. It is supposed to be the hardest canoe race in the world. I love the lens, but the first thing I noticed is that the 150mm on the short end is simply not wide enough. I'm using this on an APS-C body, apparently, that doesn't help much. lol Here are a couple of cell phone pictures... Looking up river with the camera, I was fine with the lens... But as they passed by as shown in this picture below, I was close to not being able to get the entire canoe in the frame. The field of view was just too narrow... The lens performed great otherwise; of course, this wasn't exactly action I was photographing, these canoes were on a pretty slow part of the river. I am going to really think about returning this one and ordering the Bigma. Here is one of my pictures from this morning... untitled (1 of 1) by ewraven, on Flickr _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

And if I had that much cash I'd probably just make myself save up for the 50 1.2 $\:\($ _________________________ "On the street where there is no lap timer, feel is all that matters" - scootergeek "A bunch of nerdy douchebags chasing a ghost." -Ob1 on bitcoin

ewraven ewraven Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/30/02 Posts: 45345 Loc: Dept. of Ruminant Procurement	I went to Austin and picked up that Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 this morning. I got it in Sony A-mount. I am kind of hard on my lenses, I bought a Zeiss UV filter to protect it. I really like it so far, been playing with it at my Mother's house with family around. It is nice being able to take pictures indoors without having to use the flash. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

Not sure how I feel about the UV filter (this debate will rage forever though, with smart people on both sides), but the lens is supposed to be fucking incredible $\:\)$ And yeah, every time I try to take indoor pictures with stuff slower than f2 I get sad-faced. _________________________ "On the street where there is no lap timer, feel is all that matters" - scootergeek "A bunch of nerdy douchebags chasing a ghost." -Ob1 on bitcoin

ewraven ewraven Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/30/02 Posts: 45345 Loc: Dept. of Ruminant Procurement	I can definitely see the argument against UV filters. I'm not real careful with the glass on my lenses. I keep the end cap on, but rarely if ever use a lens cap. One thing that surprised me about this lens, it did not come with the USB dock. The USB dock is a separate 59 dollar purchase and they don't have it listed for Sony mount at this time. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

There are times that I take the filter off, but if I'm outside or in a dusty/rough environment, I keep the filter on. Easier to replace a filter than the lens. Plus I can be a little more rough when it comes to cleaning the filter (ie, use spit and a shirt if necessary).

chef chef Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 23758 Loc: The OC	Oh yeah, this shit sexy. I need to do a little MFA on it, it's focusing a little in front of where I want, but that should be an easy fix. It is indeed in like new condition. score one for me _________________________ Why choose mac? "Well, huh, might as, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good?"

I ordered my Sony 16-105mm lens from Amazon Warehouse deals. It was in brand new condition and I saved something like 120 dollars. I also sold a lens to Amazon warehouse deals last year. It was a cheapo 75-300mm Sony. It goes for 250 dollars new and I got an Amazon credit of 160 dollars for selling it to them. I did notice some really poor reviews of the Amazon buy it thing. They use an outside company that does some shady things, like say that the package was damaged when they received the item and then offering a credit that is only a fraction of what the product is worth. Back to UV filters. Quality is all over the place for them. I buy pretty nice ones, I haven't seen any lens flare from those. I can see how the cheap ones would lack those coatings. _________________________ I’ve not seen democrats this mad since the republicans made them give up their slaves

chef chef Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 23758 Loc: The OC	wow, that's pretty fucked. I haven't really thought about selling stuff to amazon, or through amazon. interesting. I bought my 1.7x TC from warehouse deals too. I used a bunch of visa gift cards i'd accrued from tire rebates and stuff to buy a couple of amazon gift cards, then used those to pay for the TC that was deeeeeply discounted and all of a sudden i had a 1.7x TC for very little cash out of pocket. Nice. But then I bought a CB radio (SCTA says I need to have one on my person for press pass at the salt flats) from the warehouse deals, it showed up brand spanking new, without an antenna. doh! _________________________ Why choose mac?
