RichA:
I can't say it's good, because I've never used a Tamron or
Sigma long-range zoom.

PAS:
Really! I've never used a D810 but I know it's a darn good
camera. You don't necessarily have to use something to know
how good it is or isn't.

nospam:
nice contradiction.

you've previously said the only way to know if sigma/foveon
cameras are any good is to use one.

PAS:
Never said that. I suggested that you use one. Nice try but in
typical fashion you twist people's words.


nospam:
i'm not twisting anything.


why would someone need to use one to know if it's any good?


either you can tell without using or you can't. you can't have it
both ways.


the *reason* why sigma's market share is 1% is because they're
garbage.


You lie. Your changing the subject. Off with you.


For the record, my 28mm/f1.8 Sigma is one of my favorite wide angle lenses,
really sharp and really quick focusing. Wrote about it earlier:
