Price and the fact i can no longer manage heavy lenses,i was happy with the Sigma 150-600 but it got too much for me.

Nice work. And, I can totally relate to managing heavy lenses!

Unfortunately I can include myself in that category.  I am now a Nikonless photo nut.  )).

So, you got rid of your Nikon and lenses?

Yes, I did.  Not only were they very heavy for me to lug around, but I was growing tired of having to deal with old technology.

 

Thnx.  TT

I totally understand. So, you're back to shooting Pentax full time? I seem to remember that you got a Canon and wasn't happy with it either... or am I misremembering?

Hi Ron,

I like the Canon very much.  I am really impressed with the Image Stabilization System.  The only hitch is that I am getting the kit lens ready for a third trip to the Warranty Repair Shop.  Along with the Canon EOS Rebel t5 and the kit lens, I also purchased the Canon EF-S 55~250mm IS, II Lens.  thnx,  Tony
