Sure its not the sharpest knife...

butcha27 Goldmember  More info | Oct 30, 2007 04:49 | #10 Another cheap way is the 300 f/4L with the 1.4X, I get great results, 420mm @ f/5.6 Yes I'd love the f/2.8 but we are talking cheapest here. Rob

The zoom is not a neccecity for surf at all. It seems rad for field sports though! ah lenses... always a head cruncher. Mike, well even at $2K the Sigma isn't "Cheap" (note the title of the thread) and adding another $1,000 to the Sigma Solution (not a Robert Ludlum novel, although it sounds like one) makes it even more "un-Cheaper" http://www.denniswierzbicki.com
