Yikes!
Hey Evrim, cool down a little. Chip just said that you had problems with yours
and and didn't knock it.
There are people that buy accessories made by the same company that made the
camera for many reasons. Chip didn't trash the Sigma and said that he didn't
know what your total experience with the Sigma was.
Miha asked for opinions about the 500 Super and the 550-EX. Chip just added
another approach to getting a 550. Not anything to get excited about.
Take care,
Bob
