560

QuestionableCarrot · 2012-06-12T18:52:24+0100

Are there any other members out there interested in this new lens? When I was first starting out taking my nature shots I was told that I had bought a poor camera for the task. Canon or Nikon are always named as the best for the job because of the options in glass etc. I am facing a really tough decision at the moment whether to stick it out for the 560 with my K-x or change to Canon and get there fantastic 400mm 5.6 lens. Does anyone have any doubts about this new lens and will it be affordable for someone who is finding it harder every month! QC

I am certainly interested in this lens - though depending on the price I might eventually go for the more versatile option of the the Sigma 300 2.8 with the matched 2x (and possibly 1.4x) converter. The actually buying won't happen until next summer anyway so I will have time to look at the experience of others.
