John, can it be that any authorized camera service willing give your

Beautiful scene, subtly rendered. Excellent stuff, Larry.
"Been there, done that" on the walking away from a sunset. I learned
my lesson by returning the next night armed with written down times,
and patiently waited. Luckily I got what I wanted the 2nd night.
Rarely so lucky!

rate the shorter zooms as follows:
DA 16-45 > New Sigma 17-70 > Old Sigma 17-70 > DA 17-70 > DA 18-55
I feel that the DA 16-45 is sharper than the new 18-35 1.8 as well,
though it suffers slightly more in the corners at 16mm, but
I should point out that Sigma appears to steadily improve, also in
their non-EX department.

I'm sure that Sigma has made some average performers, but the Sigma EX
line has impressed me. I've got the EX 10-20mm, 28mm f1.8, and
50-500mm and I'm very pleased with each of them.

I can't comment about the shorter zooms, but the Sigma 70-300 DG proved
itself to me.
Later I'll post some of the shots taken by my son at about 60 ft (across a
gymnasium) at my graduation in May.
It's the only Sigma that I have not named "stigma."

Hi Bruce -
I scanned a lot of photos a few years ago and restoring the colors was
nowhere near as easy as it has become these days. In the past I
usually resorted to adjusting each color channel with levels or curves
in Photoshop or PictureWindow.

Wow, these are all great, thanks for the work! And yeah, if I had to
pick one, it probably would be "Looking for a Mate".
