[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 216523, member: 9240"] Thought about it? Yes. Is it possible and/or practical for me? Not necessarily. I'm about an hour away from any decent camera shop that rents anything, and the cost of renting online only makes it somewhat impractical when you factor in shipping given that most places are across the country. I have a good relationship with a dealer about 50 miles from me that will let me test drive something for a day or two, so it's a great option if I'm willing to take the drive. Right now I'm doing a lot of internal debating since I do like my 24-85mm f3.5-4.5, and neither lens buys me a ton of extra light, and the Sigma buys me even less reach, so it's one of those things where I can take my time and make a decision. In truth I'm on the lookout for a decent deal on a used 24-120mm since it makes more practical sense for me as an "upgrade" and I can wait it out. I can get a refurb for about $100-150 more than the Sigma new with a one year warranty, so it prices out about the same. No hurries. My brother shoots pro and has a couple of the new Sigma lenses that allow the 4-point fine tuning and is a huge fan of it. He has the Canon 24-105mm from work but says he will be getting the Sigma should the work situation ever fall through. [/QUOTE]
