Why good lenses cost what they do? An example
Take a look at the shots and the thread. Either the Sigma

4ax.com: Take a look at the shots and the thread. Either the Sigma is just plain terrible, or the Olympus is fantastic. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=14428755 That's an interesting comparison, but of rather limited value. It does clearly show that very cheap lenses are often not as good as dearer lenses. The Olympus 50-200 f2.8-3.5 Lens is $999.95 from B&H The Sigma 55-200 f4-5.6 DC lens is $159.00 from B&H Shooting the Sigma wide open compared to shooting the Oly at over a stop down shows the Oly to be sharper, wow - big surprise! For the price of the Oly you could buy a Sigma 50-500 lens. For less money you could buy a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX. I wonder how a comparison shot at 200/5.6 would look between the Oly and this lens? -- Mark Heyes (New Zealand) See my pics at www.gigatech.co.nz (last updated 25-June-05) "There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't" |

I run Panicware and it was preventing some images from showing. But most linked images, 95% show up right from the get-go. -Rich |
