I just purchased a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Nikon this afternoon. I've shot for about 20 minutes with it and I absolutely love it. I mean I really like my 50 mm prime lens but the Sigma? Wow... I love it. Is that so wrong?

If it is wrong, them I'm doomed too. I'm in love with my new 30D...and my Tammy 28-75...and especially my new Tokina 12-24...
Oh well, it could be worse. It could be something really expensive, like cars or something.

No - there is no love MORE natural!
I remember the first night I got my Tamron 28-75mm - I overheard my husband saying on the phone to a friend that it looked like he'd be sleeping in the spare room that night - his side of the bed was reserved for my lens - GRIN!
I HEAR YOU! Love without reservation - you are NORMAL! |

It's ok to love a lens.
Wear protection however. You don't want to get into a life time of trouble.

In my best Luther Ingram voice:
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
My mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I can mount you on my cam
I don't care what my people say
My friends tell me there's no future
In loving a piece of glass
If I can't shoot you when I want to
I'll shoot you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with zoom
Knowing I got a prime and two little fisheyes
Depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the smoothness of your focus
knowing I got more glass at home
that pleases me just as much
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right |

That is just wrong, for punishment you should send it to me so it can get a checkup and some counseling.

Edit to add, the wildlife challenge is currently going on, so you better send it overnite with insurance.

| If it gives birth to an "L" lens I'll consider adopting. |

I was a Nikonian at the time, but the answer was still no then too....
And Noisemaker, the non-IS is pretty sweet too.

Clearly you haven't played with a 70-200 f/2.8 L or 100-400 L. ;-) |

You know what my kids would say,
"Citadel and the Sigma,
sitting in a tree,

i would either get the f/4IS or the f/2.8.... the 2.8 you get faster glass but the f/4IS you get a smaller lens which is useful for traveling butyou get the 4 stop stabilizer whichowuld be fantastic |

Got it right this time:
(about the comment of loving more than one lens)
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
You mustn't think you've failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said
I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

I just ordered the new sigma 50-150 f/2.8 - and I'm in love with it and it hasn't even got here yet. Just the idea of a new lens is enough to make me a bit wobbly at the knees, so there is nothing wrong with a bit of lens lovin' if you ask me

Oooooh! This lens is soooooo good. I really wish I could post some shots but they might end up in the wildlife challenge. Suffice to say that the squirrels I was shooting were very photogenic and actually posed nicely for me. I took pictures of squirrels this fall and its like playing where's Waldo. With these pics? Nothing but grinning little squirrel and a bit of sky/trees.
*drool*

Eventually the flames will die and you'll find yourself chasing glass again.
