Railfan Technology > Sigma Lens , Any Good ?Date: 03/13/19 17:08 Sigma Lens , Any Good ? Author: miralomarail Because I have a bad neck, I'm thinking about getting a Sigma f3 5-6 .3 DC Macro DS HSM lens , 18mm--300mm
For me weight on my Neck == Severe Pain/Extra strong Pain pills from the VA As it is now I have have 2 Lens and I would like to reduce the weight on my Neck by just having the One Lens and the Canon Rebel. Question, how are the Sigma Lens for the Money 5 places asking $400.00 TIA Tom a Vet in Pain Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/13/19 17:40 by miralomarail.

It maintains great color in dark areas at night. I also have Canon's el cheapo 50mm f1.8 lens, and plan on doing a comparison involving night shots; mostly for the fun of it, but we'll see how it goes.

ps: Nothing particularly wrong with Sigma. Date: 03/15/19 11:16 Re: Sigma Lens , Any Good ? Author: hot_tub Not a bad idea...maybe check out the Black Rapid straps that wrap around the arm and torso, allowing the camera to hang at your side. I tried one, but stuck with the traditional neck strap because i just couldn't get used to having the camera at my side. The Black Rapid straps do work well though if you can get used to them.

For your neck strain I would recommend a harness if you are planning to be out shooting for a while. Distributes the weight away from your neck. There are some relatively cheap Chinese versions that are decent quality (I have one). I keep a wrist strap on my camera if I am not shooting for long, otherwise, I use a sling type shoulder strap so my camera hangs to one side. Good luck on your search and thank you for your service!

James R.(Jim) Baker Whittier, CA Date: 11/06/19 21:22 Re: Sigma Lens , Any Good ? Author: SD45X There is a clip on that works like a fast draw holster. Hangs from your belt or chest harness. But I don't remember their name.
