Wow, the 400/5.6L is that cheap? I stand corrected then. Anyway, here is a link to reviews of the Sigma, albeit in a-mount. They can be summed up as "meh", though you'll probably have decent results at f/8. If yours is a later version of the lens, you might have better luck.

Dropped my Sony A700 while backpacking. Fortunately got some good shots before the LCD took a poo poo. Any clue where to get this fixed?


Sony can fix it for you, though given the cost of a700s these days, it's effectively totaled.

Is there any reason to go with the 35MM Sigma over the 24-105MM? I have never owned a zoom lens before and I would be selling my 24MM Canon to get this lens. I have the 24-105MM range pretty well covered by primes but if I bought the 35MM that would be my widest lens (following the sale of the 24). Any recommendations?
35mm is the bee's knees. If I only had one prime, it'd be a 35mm (preferably a Minolta 35mm f/2).

I'd just bring extra SD cards, and take time to delete the obvious duds from time to time. If you're backpacking, weight is crucial and SD cards weigh next to nothing. I imagine an SD card is sturdier too, as there are no moving parts.
