[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 23201, member: 4398"] This, to me, is as daft as Harley Davidson trying to sue Honda a few years back over the sounf of the Honda V-Twins claiming that Honda was deliberately making its bikes to copy the Harley sound. As far as I know a lot of big twin motorcycles sound the same. In this case unless Sigma is producing direct copies of Nikon lenses then I don't think there should be an issue, Sigma produce F mount lenses that can be used on Nikon cameras, for those of us on a budget the Sigma alternative is often superior to a Nikon at the same price. Having used Nikon and Sigma lenses a lot over the years both designs on the physical side of the lens seem to be very very different as to the IS/VR systems, there are a lot knocking about, Sigma could have very well developed their own we wait and see. In the end though I suspect that us the punters will loose, as whichever side looses they will have to either boost prices to cover the costs or cut R&D to cover the costs, either way we loose.
