Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM

$999.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i still highly recommend the lens & have enjoyed 600+ pictures within 7 days of owning it.
from www.amazon.com
so far i shot some 200 pictures of various subjects at various distances handholding the camera with the os turned on.
from www.amazon.com
for the 1st day testing, on cloudy day with f/8 as other think the sharpest, most of my pictures look soft(handheld) and i feel very upset and want to return it.
from www.amazon.com
after two days of shooting about 800 pictures (with a variety of subjects) i have to say that i am extremely pleased with this lens!!!!
from www.amazon.com
i have used it to get wonderful pictures of eagles, osprey, fox, you name it and it really helps by getting that extra reach that my sigma 70-300 just couldn't give me.

for pictures that you zoom in close or when you use the macro i would highly recommend a tripod, but it still takes great pics off the shoulder.

this is a great lens whether your using the auto or manual focus on this lens the pictures turn out sharp, hand held or on a tripod.
from www.amazon.com

Pentax SMCP-67 55mm f/4 Lens

$540.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my brother who is a super photographer recommended this camera to me, and on the very first hour i was shooting pictures with it.
from www.amazon.com
at first like most things there is a learning curve but you can be up and taking photos as soon as the batteries are in and putting it on auto pict mode.
from www.amazon.com
for more than 30 years i have been shooting photographs with pentax equipment.
from www.amazon.com
the other concern i had with the superzooms was that at their maximum zoom they weren't very 'fast' - meaning that unless you were taking pictures outdoors with a lot of light the pictures would come
from www.amazon.com
using an slr, whether 35mm or digital, offers so much more when taking pictures.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens

$2,043.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
when i ran across this lens on amazon, i thought it would have the same mixed reviews as other sources filled with people that don't actually take pictures.
from www.amazon.com
i still get mis-focused pictures from time to time, but i know it's user error, not lens error.
from www.amazon.com
i have taken several pictures with it and i must admit, i can never go back to shooting with flash or fill flash on.
from www.amazon.com
this lens takes beautiful pictures with amazing bokeh.

if this lens was any bigger width wise or length wise, some subjects would freak out and some of your pictures might look artificial.

we were able to take pictures of our daughters play without a flash.

the accessories you get, along with nicer (in my opinion) pictures, cancel out the price difference.
