picked up a telephoto lense...

shooting with wayne's canon telephoto lense the other day made me want one, so i picked up a new telephoto lense today, i can't wait to get out and do some shooting with it. picked up a sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3 EX DG telephoto lense *phew* (say that 3 times fast). is spring here yet?

The fifty is one of the cheapest lenses you can buy even brand new, I dont know what youre waiting for unless you call 119.99 expensive for a great lens...

From looking around this lens goes for close to a $1000 even on ebay (unless I'm looking at the wrong one).
Fuzzy,nice buy!! Looking forward to seeing what kind of pics you are able to take now.

He's talking about the 50 1.8, not the 50-500.

Buff, PM me if you're ready to put down cash on a 50 1.8.

Oh ok thanks for correcting me.. Ebay doesnt have the regular one, only the HSM. What is this lens worth?

Photo Ninja's

So much technical jabber. I'm not cut out for this...

Mind you i'd love to get into photography.

Any suggestions/recommendations on a nifty digital camera that I could pick up from you photo -----s out there?
Remember i'd be a noob at this, so something easy, yet classy.
