Unfortunately, you're dealing with a third party. We have the pleasure in the USA to deal directly with Sigma USA and I am fortunate to be able to deal with them face-to-face. Obvious;y, Sigma...

I can vouch personally for Cameta. I've bought many items from them over the years right in their store, the first time was about 25 years ago. They're a good place to deal with. -- My humble...

Wonderful set of images, just wonderful. Since you are a Queen fan, some history for you: hereare a couple of photos I took of Ian Hunter of Mott The Hoople who wrote the song that inspired...

I have this lens for my 7D, it's wonderful. You can also try B&H for $ 1,059.00 or Adorama for $ 1,091.00 in Manhattan. Samm's in CA has it for $ 1,089.00 but you'll have to pay sales tax if...

That was my first digicam and it was hard to find in stock anywhere and it was expensive. -- My humble photo gallery: http://www.pete-the-greek.com http://ntotrr.smugmug.com/photos/27125521-Ti.jpg

It was there after the Canon 7D was released, IIRC. Chalk up this gushing to perhaps a measure of some people's passion of their photography and their attachment to Sigma gear and the company. I,...

Don't encourage him. I'll buy everyone an SD1 if it turns out Sigma did anything in response to Alf. He made some very callous statements following the death of Mr. Yamaki that were, IMO,...

The good lady certainly does as "SPM". I met her in Vermont with a host of other users at her husband's funeral. She is a lovely lady. -- My humble photo gallery: ...

I don't think that any of the early adopters were forced to shell out the cash for their cameras, they did it willingly. With the reward program it's all moot to them now, I suspect. What's...

Dick Merrill passed away in 2008, long before the SD1 sensor was developed.

My sources say pink. -- My humble photo gallery: http://www.pete-the-greek.com http://ntotrr.smugmug.com/photos/27125521-Ti.jpg

They would have to do more than just drop the sensor in the S15 body, if that's what you mean. The power requirements for the SD1 sensor would require a revision of the SD15 engine. -- My...

True, but due to the small cost of extra batteries, this is non-issue. -- My humble photo gallery: http://www.pete-the-greek.com http://ntotrr.smugmug.com/photos/27125521-Ti.jpg

I can't complain about the winter here on Long Island, it's been mild. It was 50 degrees today. The heat and humidity in Florida is another story. I don't like the heat and I dread humidity. ...

You're trying to revise history. At no time did the president work with the Republicans when the House and Senate were Democratic. Stop with the gentleman crap. Remember your words about...

I love that B&W shot in the subway, it's fantastic. -- My humble photo gallery: http://www.pete-the-greek.com http://ntotrr.smugmug.com/photos/27125521-Ti.jpg

Are you conveniently forgetting that Obama had a Democratic House and Senate and still had problems getting his agenda through? The Republicans control only 1/3 of the government right now, the...

Does anybody question the contitutionality of the Government bailing out GM and becoming an owner of a business? What constitutional authority does the government have to get involved? ...

Thanks for the info. I'll vote with my dollars to. I'll buy from RRS. -- My humble photo gallery: http://www.pete-the-greek.com http://ntotrr.smugmug.com/photos/27125521-Ti.jpg
