I think you've been a bit too liberal with your '*'s. DA* 17-50 and FA* 70-200 :::DA*17-50

I have the DA* 300mm. I didn't buy the 200mm because I have a Sigma 180mm Macro which is close enough to 200mm if I needed a 200mm prime.

Easy peasy:-
SMCP-DA 12-24mm
SMCP-DA* 16-50mm
SMCP-DA* 50-135mm or SMCP-DA* 60-250mm
SMCP-DA* 300mm
Sigma EX 180mm DG Macro or SMP-FA 100mm Macro
What would I shoot with them?, Just about anything. I'd also pack the SMCP-F 1.7x AF T/C (it's not really a lens :lol

Amin, first lesson in electronics:-
Never assume anything, make sure. That is, you can't assume that just because the gate of a thyristor appears to be the middle pin in a drawing, that it will be the middle pin on the physical component.
You must check these things. Getting it wrong can be both costly and dangerous.
This circuit looks to be so simple that if it doesn't work, you have one of the active components connected incorrectly. If that is the case, re-wiring it correctly might not work either if it has been destroyed by your first attempt. You might have to buy one or more new components.

Most of the adverts I see are in Spanish so I guess they are using geo-location aware IP wizardry for targeting their audience. Just shows what kind of neighbourhood you live in Hyram. . .

I think he should send it to me for testing in high temperatures. 39 degrees C here yesterday. I can test it at high altitude too, well, about a mile up our nearest mountain anyway.

That's the older APO version. The EX DG model is much better for digital I believe. I think the longest Macro lens Sigma produces now is the 150mm.

I echo the above positives about using Lightroom (albeit I have version 1.x). I have the book for v1 that Steve has mentioned - excellent!
Also a great thing one can do with any file is to make any number of virtual copies within LR and so apply any number of different effects/ treatments/ processing styles - and be able to simultaneously view them alongside each other and all without changing the original file, or significantly increasing the amount of memory used to store them.

Upgrade to V2.x, it's well worth it.I echo the above positives about using Lightroom (albeit I have version 1.x). I have the book for v1 that Steve has mentioned - excellent!

For a DA* lens its fairly chunky as (like the other DA* primes) the image circle covers the 35mm format and a smaller image circle would probably have reduced the weight.
