I've been using light room and NIK suite forever. Just learning more skills in Photoshop CC now. Isn't anything that NIK did, also do-able in Photoshop using actions (plus a lot of trial and error)? ...

Not sure where to place this question. Any good recommendations for an older generation "go-pro" or other brand for low intensity action recording. Specifically to strap onto chest for hiking and ...

Released just in time for Wedding Season.  Well played Sigma!

At current exchange rate, the CDN prices are
14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art : $2120
24-70mm F2.8 DG HSM OS Art : $1720

Not a bad price for the 24-70 if the IQ and BQ are close to on par of Nikon's.

Adobe please take some of that revenue to buy and improve the NIK software suite and include it with subscription to photoshop/ lightroom. I think you would gain a substantial number of new...

Correct me if I'm out of line, but I don't understand peoples' obsession with finding and printing an official focus chart.  Why would a fine point gel pen or technical pencil and a straight edge ...

I was at a local trade show this weekend talking to Sigma reps.  They're stoked over the upcoming 24-70 2.8VR image quality!  I bought and returned the  Sig 24-105 f4VR a few weeks ago; something ...

I'm thinking that as well. 20mm is out because I just don't do that kind of "wow" wide angle. For the rare opportunities that call for a pano I'd rather stitch images using a 24 or 28 with well ...

I know that the quality of  those lenses is very good regardless of the brand.  Tamron and Nikon have VR versions now, and Sigma is about to release its f/2.8 VR version (which I'm holding out ...

I prefer GF1. The JPEG colours are sweet and the quick menu is easy and intuitive. I still use mine occasionally. I've never experienced shutter shock at any s/s. I bet you could easily get a GF1 ...

Bigger and heavier is a correct statement, but I'm not interested in the debate that will ensue.  I'm invested in M43 partly for the weight, but mostly for the physical size.  My first procurement ...

The 12-100 being as good as it is, I expect to see a few used 12-40 lenses go up for sale in my area (a soft market right now).  And with the almost continuous rebates for the 12-40 now, I expect ...

I know it's not in the same category, but I noticed Sigma has been discounting the 24-105 for a while now.  Perhaps they're tempting fence sitters to help deplete some inventory before releasing ...

The Panasonic 12-60 was at the back of my mind as well.  I'm comparing it right now.  Seems like a good candidate.

I really appreciate everyone's experience and thoughts on the difference between these two lenses.  It will be an easy choice for me now that I know that the IQ gap between the two isn't large ...

I know they are two completely different lenses. I've decided to use MFT as my walk-around / shoot from the hip kit (for outdoor event coverage).  It's just easier for me to handle while I'm also ...

I use a vented metal hood on mine...VERY sexy.  Most of the time I use a smaller aperture like f/4 to F5.6 and manual focus close to the hyperfocal distance to suit the situation. I will never give ...

Released just to keep Thom Hogan off their backs. ;/
But seriously I think this is a welcomed lens, given the VR.
At Cdn$450 I'm not expecting spectacular IQ, but we may be surprised.
I agree with...

I am waiting for the HAL 9000s

Excellent focus on that image.  I hate to give equipment too much credit over the photographer, but wow Nikon designed a real budget priced diamond with the 200-500.  Quiet often I can't tell the ...
