Yes that is the bottom line or you would not have gotten so upset with my post or anyone elses to begin with.No that's not the bottom line. The bottom line is a 300mm can't beI see we gotten to the real bottom line here is what you really
object to is that someone would post that the Sigma 120-300mm 2.8
might be a lens to avoid.
compared against a fixed focal length. Where do you get this psyco
babble from?
If you do not have favorites and are a fan of the best possible glass then if you are not buying it then maybe thats the problem.No. I'm a fan of the best glass possible and I don't haveIt appears that its finally coming out
in this thread that you are an avid Sigma fan.
favorites. I have Canon, Sigma and Tamron glass. My next lens
will be a Canon lens. I just haven't decided if it will be the
20mm or 24mm. Are you making this stuff up as you write?
I love it when others make assumptions about me and take something personal because they lack anything of substance to add. If you need to make assumptions and appear cluessless so be it.Okay, you're weak in the wrist, that's not my fault and I won'tGood for you. What
you missed in the fact that I have stated twice that the 120-300
Sigma has too stiff of a focus ring to make it very usable as a
zoom if you shoot sports or high speed moving objects.
hold it as a fault against you.
Hahaha it obviously is to complicated for you even in simple terms.Oh no. Please, keep it complicated so I'll have an excuse not toLet me make
is simpler for you.
understand what you're trying to explain to me![]()
Even though the 120-300mm Sigma 2.8 is a zoom,
the focus ring is so stiff, you might as well buy a prime, be it a
Sigma prime, Canon prime, or someone else.
I really have to ask, do you have real or factual information in regard to my personal strength, or do you always create information that supports your comments so you can be right?Go pound some nails with a twenty-eight ounce hammer. Sixteen
penny nails. It does wonder for your forearm strength which is
where you get your wrist strength. Do about eight hours a day for
twenty years, you'll quit your complaining about weak wrists![]()
I did not know we were talking about other people here. My experience with this lens is mine, and nothing else was claimed.Maybe the lens has a stiff zoom but there are people here that
whine about five pounds of glass and camera like it's five hundred
pounds.
I bet you're complaining to much about this stiff ring and
Maybe you should do more reading. If you had read some of the first posts in regard to this lens in this and/or other forums then maybe you would have known better.don't realize that you're approaching the twist of the wrist from
the wrong direction. You're the first I've read about that is
unhappy with the amount of force necessary to twist a zoom ring.
Who claimed they were attempting to do that with this lens. Again, this is just something you are making up for the sake of your argument.Now that being said, what does any of this have to do with a 300mm
lens trying to get a shot at 200mm.
Ok lets try the remedial approach here and maybe you will get it this time. By your own admission, you have never owned this particular lens. How any other lens performs is irrelevent in regard to the Sigma 120-300. Hey, I am all for it. Buy and exchange as many copies of this lens until you find one you are happy with, but the fact that you are even commenting here in regard to the Sigma 120-300 2.8 quality and actually do not own one or have not owned one is once again moronic. Remember you said you were a fan of the best glass possible. You never have used it, but you know its qualiity. Next you will be telling others how great Phoenix lenses are.Sorry, I have a 100-300mm f/4.0 and a 300mm f/4.0. I consider thatThe fact is the
stiffness of the zoom ring on the Sigma negated the use of its zoom
range for me. I am glad you like glass, but its moronic for you to
comment on how any lens performs at any focal length if you have
never owned it or used it.
sufficent for my needs. If I had need of a 120-300mm f/2.8, I
wouldn't hesitate, based upon past experience and your comments to
get Sigma's 120-300mm f/2.8 zoom.
