Call Canon support. I forget the issue I had at setup, but I got a live conversation with a knowledgeable rep who helped set things up and stayed on the line until sure everything was functioning ...

I think much of that disappointment relates to the fact that initial offerings did not immediately replace the relevance of cameras like D5, 1DXii, 5D mkIV, and D850; that there was no D500 ...

I believe you are correct that the Tamron will be less than the Sigma, until the inevitable instant rebates start. It is interesting how personal biases enter in to these purchase decisions. Ten ...

The Nikon USA site indicates one year lens warranty. There is then the issue of four years of extended warranty if lens is registered. The site seems to indicate it is contingent on registration, ...

I purchased the same printer a year ago. There is a learning curve in printing, particularly in matching  what you see on screen in the print. Calibration is the action you will see most often as ...

It was $799 at release, not sure of pricing history since then.

I also have the Nikon 70-200E, now my favorite lens. I was not at all tempted by the Tamron, nor am I reticent about not waiting for the Sigma, but I think those still considering will have three ...

Sounds dubious enough to be a Kickstarter project!

I have had AF difficulty with my 35mm Art only when purchasing new bodies, and usually in live view. It is corrected by firmware updates from Sigma via the dock. I did have issues with 85mm nonArt ...

I wonder if this will become a Sigma vs Tamron as alternative choice to the Nikon E based on lower price, or if it will become a difficult Sigma vs Nikon choice based on optical performance. When ...

You tune the lens to the body you intend as the principal body. You are dependent on the body fine tune for any additional bodies with hope that the lens communicates similarly (usually does) with ...

I am very much in agreement with you in thinking all should be very happy for a new top tier Pentax lens, but would just add there is no need to be concerned with comparative semantics regardings ...

You seem to focus on what you see as an unfair perception of cons regarding the Pentax lens option. Therefore, I simply wanted to demonstrate that other lenses in the same category are labeled ...

The abovewas an excerpt from the discussion on size, weight, and cost of the Pentax lens. There seems to be this perception that any statement regarding this lens which is not purely positive must ...

Oskar, has Sony offered any support for their own A mount in recent years? It appears that it is not only Sigma that has moved on.

After getting used to the Nikon 300PF and the ease of carrying it I found I rarely used the 300 f/2.8 VRII. I finally sold it and now have assets ready for the 500PF should Nikon ever actually ...

When the words "Blows away" appear in any assessment it is generally best to disregard whatever is being presented. D

But, that desired boost will come at the expense of abandoning their SA mount, a plan directly counter to a same mount DSLR/MILC discussed here.

Most of us  here in the Nikon lens forum do not own a Hasselblad, but I dare say most of us would return it if we received one damaged by fungi. D

Not sure what plans Nikon has for a new announcement, but here in the US we see savings similar to past holiday seasons. It is reduced by 100 USD in US and includes the grip at no cost, identical ...
