If I remember correctly as for the Sigma 70-200/2.8, here are the different modern versions:
- 70-200/2.8 EX DG - 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro II (a bit less good than the former) - 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM (which really wasn't HSM in its Pentax version but often refered as being HSM in shops) - 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II (indeed HSM in Pentax version this time) - 70-200/2.8 DG Macro HSM OS (why not EX, I dunno but OS means internal stabilization like Canon IS). 2011/6/9 Ecke PDML <[email protected]>: > Great! short for EXcellent maybe =) > > 2011/6/9 Boris Liberman <[email protected]>: >> On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 12:47 PM, Ecke PDML <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> I believe though that there is a pro grade and a consumer grade >>> version but I have no idea which letter soup denotes which... -- >> >> If I grok sigma letter soup rightly, EX means pro grade all the way through. >> >> Boris >> >> -- >> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> [email protected] >> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net >> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and >> follow the directions. >> > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille/Thibs ---------------------- Photo: K-7, Sigma 28/1.8 macro, FA50/1.4, DA40Ltd, K30/2.8, DA16-45, DA50-135, DA50-200, 360FGZ KX, MX, SuperA+Motor, Z1, P30 Mamiya C330+80/2.8 Sekonic L-208 FalconEyes TE300D x2 Studio flashes Laptop: Macbook 13" Unibody SnowLeo/Win7 Programing: Delphi 2009 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
