[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 625353, member: 12855"] Oh man, a "pro" guy who can't decide whether he wants the job done quick and insured via new technology or to mess with the bargain glass because its "the best"...... I want to say that profanity and comic relief is the only real useful thing about him. #1 thing I still notice lots of people fail to mention is their subject/environment per lens needed/wanted. MF is perfectly fine for non-action and low-light situations, for example, or for f/2.8 and lower while say AF newer lenses excel in these conditions. I got my Sigma 24/2.8 for $45 shipped when they were easily going for 100+ a few years ago, and it was in immaculate shape minus the hood that was a very easy and sturdy fix. All that said, Sigma 12-24 v1 is a mad bargain considering how good it is to step into the ultra wide angle game. Got mine for 400, but they can be had for 3-350. [/QUOTE]
