Almost Everything depreciates the moment you buy something new. Sigma are well on the ball the new 24-70 f/2 looks amazing as does the 135mm f2. Might be a wake up call for the camera manufacturers to reduce their prices. The reviews for Sigmas Art range are just so positive.

Maybe cheaper and easier than trying to get a hammerhead flash

Ive never understood the bad press this lens gets, I can only put it down to user error and the thin depth of field at 2.8. Razor sharp image Mike

Im just editing a wedding I shot a couple of weeks ago and I have very very few soft images with the 16-50 99% are razor sharp.

No video on the k20d maybe first fully weather sealed consumer dslr....

Bump

I spent many years building pc's and repairing them etc and after sll that decided buying of the shelf was just a lot more simpler and found the support from Dell to be very good for personal business use, which is now more important to me. Also the money saved on self build is insignificant to the potential loss I could suffer trying to get one repaired and the downtime would just be unsufferable.

I have never had any issues or conflicts with of the shelf pc's unlike self build and custom build. I now only use laptops now so the argument is irrelevant for me now

I have the Westcott medium apollo which is a softbox in brolly form. I find it very flexible and light to carry around too. Not cheap though but then I tried the cheap brollies and didnt like them.

I have the Dell too very good monitor.
