Re: Jacques...

Greg,

Good to know. You're one of the voices of reason & experience around here, so when you say something's good, I pay attention. Still think I'd rather have faster primes, as I turn to them as low-light alternatives to my f2.8 zooms, but the Sigmas are now on my radar. Thanks.

The lens that's at the top of my wish list right now is a 17mm f1.4 with OIS. My Panny 20 is my current go-to lens for wide-ish dimly lit audience shots, and the lack of OIS means I'm always wrestling with whether to put it or my Oly 45 on the GX7 for IBIS, which somewhat reduces the utility of my G6. A Panny 42.5/1.7 with OIS is on my horizon as a replacement for the Oly 45 for this reason.

I'd love to see more of your work. Whaddya say we petition DPR to make a forum for event photography?
