I send a lot of people to Sigma, for the value at a price point, not for the ultimate in IQ.
BTW, my main peeve about Sigma, why don't they make some fast super-tele primes? With Canon and Nikon going into five-figures now, there's room for some well made, f/4 primes in the 500/600/800 ranges. A $4000 Sigma would seem like a hell of a buy vs. a $10,000 Canon or Nikon. They seem hung up on zooms in the tele lengths.

lol, I think it's cause they spend more time trying to develop a camera then more lenses
But you're 100% correct, they haven't really done any new lenses or supertels in a long time.
