I can cut`n paste from the Sigma catalog too. But nobody has ever seen a
picture you've taken so the point is moot. BTW why would you need 5 DSLRs?

Likely too busy trying to decide which of these many lenses to put on 
which of his five bodies: Seems overwhelming to me :-)

Well, he's probably trying to figure out how to fill the obvious gaps in his
lens coverage without dumping the whole batch and buying a  real system like
Canon's or Nikon's.  A 180mm 3.5 (a not stellar performer) and a 120-300mm
f2.8, which is faster and better, and covers the same length as the 300
f2.8?  No coverage between 70 and 105mm and 105mm and 120?  No 50mm 1.4 or
1.8?  (Oh, yeah, Sigma doesn't make one...)  Yes, Sigma's 300-800 is the
only one on the market, but I can get one for my Canon's, too, since Sigma
makes it in Canon mount.
He's dreaming, if he really used those lenses, he'd have a completely
different selection, or there would be 1 or two more, or less.
The reason I wanted him to post his collection was to really see if he knew
what he's doing.  He didn't disappoint, he really has not a clue.

I quote you:
"Add-on lens attachments severely degrade image quality."
(What followed, is a matter of personal opinion)


Now, since you owe 14 lenses, you have exactly 14 chances to "degrade your
image" severly...

By the way, how do you transport all above? With a truck?

The 180mm f3.5 is a macro lens, but the earlier 180mm f5.6 1:1 macro is 
possibly better. The 120-300mm is fine but a touch limited in close 
focus for macro work :-)

The interesting thing about George's collection is that he seems to have 
lenses which are not currently available in the Sigma mount, at least in 
Britain. Sigma do release the 120-300mm, and 12-24mm, and all the prime 
macros and key teles like 300mm f2.8 but I have yet to actually see the 
fast wide angle DG lenses in SA mount. I am sure some must be made but I 
am not aware of anyone stocking them, including Sigma UK.

Change "g" to "a"

Too bad he blew his budget and couldn't afford any memory cards.  Can show
us any pics!

In that case, he's duplicating, because the 50mm f2.8 and 105mm f2.8 are
both stellar macro lenses.  And, like I said, the 180 ain't so hot,
especially compared to the other two.  If he can't get it with the 105, he
sure isn't going to get it with the 180, particularly since he says he can
dispense with tripods due to the magical  stabilizing properties of the
Sigma body.
As far as availability, I'm sure he didn't consult the availability chart on
Sigma's website...

The last fully working SD10s I saw were dumped in the garbage.
Exactly where they belong.

I see why the troll has 4 SD10s.  Firstly because they are so inferior to
any other camera that it's laughable.  Secondly because they take SO long to
take a photo you need several spare SD10s just to keep shooting.

The whole kit below could easily be replaced by any Canon or Nikon with two
zoom lenses and would produce infinitely better images at 2% of the cost.

Sigma = Shitty Inferior Garbage Made by Assholes

But Prof George, Master of Pornography, according to your website and
postings here you also have a Sigma 600mm mirror lens.  What happened? Makes
a better shaving mirror than a lens I'll bet.
