Hmm... I may have to get some of these printed, issue is that they don't really go with the flow of my other posters since they're different topics completely

That red panda is unbelievely cute. The black bear looks depressed. That's sad. :(

we all saw that... we're just asking more specific questions :p

is the sigma very big/heavy? i'd imagine so... i didn't know they made a 50-500 :eek:

The Sigma 50-500mm is a pretty big lens. The weight is 4 or 5 pounds.

http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/sigma_50500_463/index.htm

Use with a tripod or monopod is almost required, unless it's a bright and sunny day and you've got access to shutter speeds faster than 1/1000sec at 500mm. The image quality isn't too bad, but it does get a bit soft near 500mm, which is unfortunate. Heh, but at least is GETS there.

You best forward some of them to Wasserkool stat or deal with the F..A..L.L.OOOUUUUU.OT.
I'd have to say the best pic is the Orangutan...quite pensive.
