Bellatrix Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Fantastic images, Bec! They are so clear and sharp! I love the cyclist ones, so sharp! After I buy my speedlite, this lens is next on my list. Anyone in Adelaide have it I could try out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchnauzerBoy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Sigma have announced new glass during the PMA event. This includes an OS 70-200 and an OS 17-50 of their EX DG HSM lenses ;) So Bec, might be lucky your purchase has gone on hold http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022016sigma70mm200mm.asp and http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022014sigma17mm50mm.asp As for me, I'll be keeping my non-OS lenses ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've got a Sigma 18-200 and it's been away with me a few times now, also dropped from about half a metre in the lowepro bag and it's still AOK. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchnauzerBoy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ow Im Canon... boo Might be a race between you and JS on the new lens. Only just been announced, will be a few weeks until you see prices... spoke to CR Kennedy this morning and they don't have any information. Ordered me a 2x teleconverter for it today though to give me 400mm zoom Once the OS version comes out I'll weigh up the price to convert vs the imporovement with the OS, which in some reviews has scored better than VRII on Nikon's lenses, so it should be good! I would expect it to be around $1,000 on import, $1,200 at most retailers and $1,300 at Teds/HN... but that is just a guess from me given the current price of the non-OS going down to about $850 on import.

SchnauzerBoy Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 OK Spoke with CR Kennedy chap on the phone the other day, as well as other rumour sites and first talks are around $1500. On a similar note, I got the 2x teleconverter today and promptly took it to the zoo for the comedy evening. Image taken at ISO 1600 (Nikon D80) f7.1 at 1/160 second at 400mm Suddenly my photography doors have opened yet again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
