Hi there, ... --> Thanks. The temple you saw is one of the world heritage site in Ayudthaya province. :-) If I am not mistaken, you posted > another series of...
I currently see for sale two versions. 50mm F/1.4 Filter size 49mm , comes with retractable hood 50mm F/1.4 Filter size 55mm Is there quality difference ? Do...
Optically, the lenses are the same. However, the newer version has 7 aperture blades versus 5, slighly bigger rubber focusing ring, and a round mountable hood....
Hi Pat, I will let you know in the fall. My Sigma 70-200/2.8 is the first one I will test with the 7D. I don't believe there is going to be any problem though...
It might depend when the Sigma lens was made but two Sigma/Canon fit lenses I had were rechipped by Sigma in the UK so they could be suitable for use with my...
... lenses ... Ah-ha. There's been a certain amount of confusion over this re-chipping business largely to do with people's experiences in the US, about which...
... I asked my friend and trusty informant, The Magic Eight-Ball, and got the reply "All signs point to no". When asked if he was really sure about such a...
It is my understanding that Sigma chooses not to buy a Minolta chip for use in their lens. Instead, they reverse engineer a Minolta chip to produce their own....
I own a Maxxum 9Xi body. When taking pictures of birds with my Minolta 600mm 4 or 300mm 4 lenses, it has a tendency to "hunt" a lot and I miss a lot of action...
A few years ago another user had a similar problem. He did some testing and found that the M42 adapter extended a little too far into the camera mount and was...
Image quality also partly subjective. I've own 80-200G for sometimes before got the new SSM. To me, slide from the field using the SSM version is definitely...
... Yes, much better. The 9xi is notouriously hunt-prone, thanks to its auto-selecting AF mode system (which doesn't work particularly well). It's a very...

Thanks for the hint. I imagine there was a cure, probably involving a bushing or a Dremel tool. We shall see. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...

... The 7 has a much faster shutter than the low-end stuff. While the 5 still had a rather fast shutter and could at least X synch to 1/125 s and sported...

Which newer body severs you better? You have two choices: maxxum7 and maxxum9. It also depends on the lens. Maxxum9 with 100mm D macro lens does a better job...
