I know there have been other posts on this but wondered if any of you had recent updates.

The Sigma looks good...except for the question of Sigma lens to lens reliability. Some are perfect, others flawed.

The Sony is lighter, more expensive, mixed reports on quality, but key problems correctable via DxO.

I'd love to hear from recent users re your recommendations.

Thanks.

Just curious if any alpha users in the UK had entered, or knew of this?

David K brought up that there seems to be a lack of Alpha users in them. Thought I'd mention it, we shouldn't let the non alpha folks hog all the prizes :)

Hi all,

Haven't seen that many cat photos on the site yet, so here's one from me! It's an image of my pet cat Felix and was taken on my trusty KM5D and Sigma 55-200 mm lens (was taken before I got the beercan). I was experimenting a bit with flash, so used a 3600 HSD bounced off the ceiling.
