Funny thing. I never even noticed your 12-24... hehe that's a good one too.

Not familiar with the Sigma 8-12mm. You mean the 8-16?

FWIW, if it's the bulb lens one, you might want to consider how you use it. I use filters for 80% of whatever I do with my wide angle. Completely impossible/impractical with that one.

If you will be doing lots of birding, you will probably be very glad of the 100-400.

Around here, the 300mm f/4 is widely used largely because of its affordability and compatibility with the 1.4x.

I know a ton of guys who have cheap older bodies and put their money into that lens instead. With big payoffs. These guys get printed on mag covers...

Anyhow, you've got your game plan sorted. You'll enjoy that!


Yes, I did mean the 8-16 (who cares what the tight end is, I wish they had just made the darn thing a prime...) Of course the 12-24 is a bulb too..

I see. I was very curious about that 8-16 until I found out that you can't use filters...

Sounds like you know what to expect though. :)
