Not me. No way I'd pay over 5K for a lens that someone had cobbled to fit a different mount. And the Sigma that he wants $1100 for? It sells for $800 brand new at Amazon. On Mar 15, 2013, at 2:48 PM, Zos Xavius zosxav...@gmail.com wrote:

Whoops. I didn't think of that. Yeah, this doesn't look so hot anymore. Not that it was a practical idea or anything. I could buy a ton of awesome lenses for five grand. Or maybe a handful of real gems. Either way. Mark Roberts postmas...@robertstech.com wrote: Rob
