I initially had some problems with Sigma with the first camera I bought (an SD1). However, I'm glad I stuck it out. Sigma USA delivered with flying 'colors' (pun intended) and I'm enjoying...

Both filters have only been used once and are in prefect condition. Please see the eBay listing for more...

To make another food analogy: When my wife cooks she tends to use a lot of 'pre-made' ingredients. For example, when making an Italian dish, she'll use canned sauce, dried pre-made noodles, etc. I,...

I haven't used the 35mm, but judging by the reviews and awards I'm certain it's an outstanding lens. But having now used the new 30mm for about a week, I think its quite good. The center is...

Then my apologies RF. Having now read your subsequent posts I can see you meant no offense (just the opposite in fact). For what its worth my comments were (mostly) directed to someone else, at any...

It just dawned on me who the elderly woman holding the old camera is. None other than Dorothea Lange! One of the greats, who is most famous for this photo:

I could live 1000 lifetimes and never understand why some have a pathological need to rain (or is it pee?) on other peoples parades. Larry was simply excited that he obtained (to him and me)...

Because doing so would look VERY cool. And nice job Larry! I particularly liked the last photo.

$40 (includes shipping with US). This support is in very good condition. See: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330920746825?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I thank you all, once again, for your replies. I've greatly enjoyed reading them...and have also learned something. Based on the stories I've been hearing, my first experience with Sigma must have...

A few days ago I wrote a post detailing my disappointment with Sigma USA at receiving an inoperable camera and what I perceived to be poor customer service in response. It now seems that word of my...

I'd like to thank you all for your kind, helpful and thoughtful replies.I'd also like to apologize for the hissy-fit I threw yesterday when I composed my original post. I've since calmed down...

Yesterday I received a refurbished SD1 I bought directly from Sigma USA. I’d like to say I’ve used it for one day, but I can not. The camera refuses to recognize any CF card I put in it. In total,...

You ain't kidding Skeys. It's rather crazy. But such are rare things. I guess I'm lucky I bought mine back when I had an FZ100. Actually...as I recall, I paid close to the cost of my camera for the...

I have a TC-E17ED I've been meaning to sell. If the lens that sold on Ebay today is any indication they are still in...

I'm very interested in these. PM sent.

Very nice photos! We get this species, here in Oregon, in the summer, but they are very much absent this time of year (like so many other species.) This photo makes me remember that warmer weather,...

Until reading this post, I never noticed this. But upon inspection, yes my camera also "rattles" when pointed upward (and to a lesser extent when when level.) It also rattles (ever so slightly)...

Those are some beautiful examples of IR photography ANAYV! My compliments.I don't have any intention of converting my FZ200 to IR anytime soon. There's just too many other things I enjoy using it...

I recently purchased a 720nm infrared filter and gave it a go on my FZ200. Unfortunately, it's not working out very well. The problem is a persistent hot spot in the middle of all photos I've...
