Paper.  Much easier to flip through.  I'd also recommend a hiking guide.  Even if you aren't a hiker you can find guides for easy trails.

I have the new Sigma 18-250 macro version and I like it much more than the Sony 18-250 that I sold.  The new version Sigma is sharper and quiet!  In fact I liked it so much that I told my brother...

I have never seen one of these birds before.  He and his family were all over my feeder this morning in SE Tennessee near Chattanooga.  Sony a57 & Sigma 18-250 M. Rose-breasted grosbeak.

Strap says Canon.  But still FUNNY!

I sold my Sony 18-250 for the newer version of the Sigma - the Sigma 18-250 HSM Macro.  I like it over the Sony for the quietness.  And it seems a slight bit sharper.  However I have the a57 & a37...

I bought the Sigma 18-250 Macro version and love it.  I have always had a superzoom.  I sold the Sony 18-250 that I owned for this one because I really like quiet lenses.  The new Sigma 18-250...

I bought the MeFOTO A0350QT Travel Tripod Kit for traveling by airplane.  It packs down short.  I have used it with my a57 & Tamron 200-500 with no problem.  Although it was a calm no wind day.

You will love having the a57.  It is a great camera.  I've had one since they came out and have been telling my brother about mine.  He just decided to get one and sell his old a700.  He is very...

I have both the a57 and the a37. I find that I use the a37 more just due to the lighter weight alone. And I really like the smaller size.Yes the a57 has a much better LCD, but I don't mind the LCD...

I have the Sigma 18-250 Macro.  The zoom scale goes 18 - 135 - 250 ( and stuff in between).  When rotating the zoom from 18 out to 250 I twist my hand in a right to left motion.  Think counter...

Yup.   Gotta be grey market.  The a37 was never available in the US as a body only option.  At least not that I could find and I looked for a while online.  I finally purchased my a37 as a kit with...

I used to think it was my error - the way the feathers/wings on the back are shaped makes the back of the woodpecker look pixelated.

Took this using the Sigma 18-250 lens and with the 2X zoom on my a37.  And then cropped it a bit more.  So I would say it's more like taken at 250 x 1.5 (APS-C) = 375mm x 2x zoom = 750mm +...

Yeah. I can't have automatic updating on anything. I live on the edge of a timezone. With auto updating my phone would constantly change between Eastern and Central time zones. I learned this when...

Purple Finch Goldfinch Sony a37 & Sigma 18-250

So the specs posted showa58:much better EVF, 25% more MPs, much better LCD (not as good as a57 though), better battery life by 50%a37:better fps in burst by 100% JPEGsame body weight. And a58 at...

I love my a37.  But if I just bought it I would return it to wait for the a58.  The a58 sounds like it has some better features for pretty much the same price as the current a37.

Thanks.  I had a B&H gift card.  I ordered the 150.  Cost me $10 + gift card.  I can't wait to try it out.

Please post a few pictures using the Raynox with your 18-250 lens.  I love gadgets like add on lenses and I am in the market for a new thing to play with.  I have an 18-250 lens that I already use...

I just purchased the newer Sigma 18-250 macro. It is not OS. And I love it. It is sharper than the Sony 18-250 that I sold for this one. Corner sharpness was better with the Sony, but overall the...
