Brandon,

Sweet pics! Keep em rolling! :thumb

How do you like that sigma lens, also referred to as the "Bigma" correct.
I've been debating for a while whether to get it or not?

What are some pros/cons you see?

I recently purchased a Rebel XT and a 70-300mm lens, but know eventually I'll need more length as in the Sigma lens.

there are better lenses out there. Keep in mind that the 2.8 lenses, although more expensive, are worth there weight in gold when it comes to low light...

I love my bigma.... its not HUGE like the 2.8's and it is somwhat managable to pack.. I keep hearing really good things about the 70-200 VR lense tho/.. Im seriously thinking about that lense with a teleconverter..

This buck is fun to take pics of. Not at all wild like the other bucks. Taken tonight.

Brett,

I am in the central unit. These bucks are not very far from the house. They are difficult to find in velvet, but when the rut hits, LOOK OUT!
How are you liking the Rebel? and what lenses are you using?!?!?!?

Wish I some bucks like that "not very far from my house" :)

I love the REBEL, only had it a week and a half. So I'm a rookie.
Using the new Canon 70-300mm IS lens, seems to do the trick so far.
Not as much reach as I need, but I'm not Bill Gates yet. :)

Brandon,

I just realized this was yours also...

Was just goofing around one day, never planned on keeping it. Got plenty to choose from.

So you should use it for your avatar under your name. Since I stole it from you. nono
