What, no love for the Sigma 500/4.5?
FWIW, the A* 400/2.8 is not even 0.5 lbs (200g) heavier than my FA* 250-600/5.6. It's 6000g vs. 5800g. I do like the zoom and PZ function though!
Cheers,
Marc
I have love for
all lenses...just more for the once-a-year sighting of big Pentax glass. The Sigma gains me a stop over my da*300+AF1.7x so its hard to get too excited but then I have never seen one. That could change my hormone levels.
PZ and zoom as well as AF? Wouldn't hurt my feelings to have those. My most fun combo is the 400/2.8 + AF1.7x TC but it typically stays home and sends the da*300 + 1.7x. Not sure how the 250-600 gets along with the 1.7x. I bet the 1.4xL works sweet on it though.
So, when do we trade lenses for a month?
I bet we would both insist on armed guards handcuffed to the lens before it left our sight.
