Re: Re: OT: Sigma 170-500mm APO for Pentax AF
From: Alastair Robertson from what I have read the Bigma 50-500 is a much better piece of glass despite the longer range They sell for about $1000 US new I think Alastair It is also slightly soft at the long end of the range, but it's a solid lens, and I don't think I'll part with mine until I can find an affordable FA600 f/4. I think Adam's "not too crappy" comment pretty much sums it up as well. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
