Re: What gear is on your "lust list" ?

I think it is all a matter of economies of scale.  Sigma make a lot of 
lenses, and presumably hope to sell a lot of this particular pair.  With 
automated manufacturing processes the unit cost of producing hundreds of 
thousands would be very low.

for just over $279 for the pair, how good can they be, realistically?

Sigma also makes this pair of "APS sensor" lenses which they sell as a
pair for $279 or so.  I think its a 18-50 and a 55-200.  I wonder how
good they are?
