    Review by 'rezMole' on item 'Sigma 150-600 Sports'

    I got one not long after it came out and it takes great quality photos (for a zoom lens). Despite being water resistant, mine did eventually let water in, which wouldn't dry out and eventually mould set in. But, it served me well for a number of years. Build quality was good and it survived...

    Review by 'rezMole' on item 'APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG HSM'

    Really pleased with this lens. Not had chance to test thoroughly (not much around in winter), but seems like a great lens for the cost (got it just before Sigmas price hike! Build quality seems very good - it is quite heavy, but feels like it'll take some knocks. Perfect fit on Nikon D300 - no...

    Review by 'rezMole' on item 'D300'

    Just an update to report that the "Dead battery sysndrome" where the camera eroneously reported a dead battery or then locked up when some long lens and or teleconverters were used (such as the Kenko Pro 300), has now been fixed by a firmware update. It has been a long time coming, but now...

    Review by 'rezMole' on item '500mm f4.5 APO EX'

    Purchased six months ago, secondhand, I was using this on my Nikon D70. It was an upgrade from a Tamron 200-500 (itself a great lens for the price). It was only after upgraging to a Nikon D300 that I have realised just how good this Sigma is! AF is fast and images are sharp. Although best on...

    Review by 'rezMole' on item 'D300'

    As an upgrade from my Nikon D70, this camera is an absolute marvel. I've only had it a couple of weeks but already I'm getting far more usable shots than I did before. Took several shots from the Bunting Hide at Pennington on a dull, rainy day, today (something I just couldn't have done with my...

    Review by 'rezMole' on item 'SP AF 200-500MM F/5-6.3 Di LD'

    Agree with first review. It is a great lens for the price. Often compared to the Sigma 50-500, and seen as second best of the two - i suspect this isn't true. It is lighter and other reviews seem to imply the Tamron is better at wider apertures. It is fairly easy to use handheld for flight shots...
