[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 518639, member: 9240"] It [B][I]eventually[/I][/B] has to be an either/or decision, even if it's a question about what I'm going to go out and shoot with on any given day? Do you realize how much space this stuff takes up?! Do you realize how different the function placement is?! Do you realize how different the menus are?! From a purely functional point as a photographer it's necessary to settle on one if only so you don't have to think about the stuff you [I]shouldn't have to think about[/I]. And once you choose a preference it makes no sense to hold onto the other side unless you like clutter, because the truth is you'll [B][I]never[/I][/B] use it - I know, I have guitar cases that haven't been opened in half a decade. Until you sit with the stuff in your house looking at how much there really is, and go out and shoot with both like I did yesterday, you don't realize how quickly a "dream come true" becomes a nightmare. You can't carry go out with 5 lenses and 2 bodies of each type [I]simultaneously[/I] and actually shoot the stuff I do without sherpas, and I dare you to try!! ;) I'm not saying that it's not an amazing opportunity - it is!! What I [I]am[/I] saying is that it's an opportunity thrust upon me and not one I was looking for, and I need to decide whether my decision is going to be made purely from a scientific and economic point of view, or whether or not I will allow other purely emotional factors (which play to both sides) to enter in and if so how much weight do I give them? Truth is, if it was anyone other than my brother asking me to consider this I wouldn't have agreed in the first place. As for the lens, no, it's not the one I'm talking about, because Sigma will actually change the mount on any of their Contemporary, Art and Sports series lenses from Nikon to Canon (and vice versa) for free for the original owner.
