I think you're just being too hard on yourself. timbernet wrote in post #3852941 What Chief, Jon, and Wu said ^^^ Yeah, what Chief, Jon, Wu and Scott said. ^^^ belmondo wrote in post #3854029 I'm not sure I read it properly, but I think the new G9 supposedly has RAW capability again. The G7 did not, and I was afraid I'd be using my G5 forever. Has anyone ever given a satisfactory answer to, "We have a G7 and now a G9. What happened to the G8?" I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Im pretty much stuck between the sigma 105 and the tammy 90mm. The tammy is cheaper and seems sharper, but the sigma does have that extra reach Carp - flickr
