loss of social cohesion in modern cities and you've got yourself a
career as an artist. You might even make a few million if you print
these mural size and sell a
Interesting shots. I like the effect and find the shots nicely composed. i

Well it's definitely art photography and usually bigger means better in art
photography :-) The new lens will be used more for working with one or two
people, simply so that I can work a bit closer to them. I'm hoping that I can

A 300 can be an excellent portrait lens sometimes. Here's one taken
with my K10-D and the Sigma 300/2.8 - but it's not my photo. It was

For $200 I would have sold you mine. Would have, because your shots

It probably sold for a bit over $150 new without the PK T mount so
somebody's expecting to make quite a killing, or has no idea what it's
really worth.

Hi all,
I've been doing a project with the 400-600 reflex zoom that makes use of it's
