I was out at the Falling Leaves festavel yesterday here in town when I catch out of the corner of my eye another photographer. Now I've seen this guy before but he always seemed to toddle off before I could get the chance to talk to him. What catches my attention is the fact he has a lens that looks comperable to mine maybe a touch shorter. I finally reached out and grabbed him yesterday and said "I have to ask, what size?"....(Truth be told I already read the lens and knew it to be a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX, but he did not need to know that)....Anyway, long story short that friggin thin is huge. He started to talk about his wanting to get into some three and four hundred mm ranges for sports and what not. Before he could finish I already had my Vivitar 400mm f/5.6 out of the bag and holding it up to his side by side. With his hood on the lens was less than half an inch shorter than my 400mm prime with out the hood.
No wonder all them digital shooters are all up and up about straps and weight...your lenses are all on enzyte. that's pretty bad when a zoom half the focal leingth of my prime lens makes me feel all shrivled up and small :evil:
