I am surprised the Bigma is actually heavier than my 300mm 4.5 lens which is 1.8kg the bigma is 1.97kg.

Good work, Anik. Keep em' coming.

I knew about the Nifty Two-Fifty and the Magic Drainpipe, but was feeling a bit lazy at the given time :) Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the comment Arif bhai :) Actually this is not *only a review blog, I'm going to blog about "Photography in General". From time to time, guest authors will also be contributing their views,opinions, experience on photography. Infact, people have already started doing so. Check out the Archives to see other posts.

The monetary proceedings from this blog would be spent for the benefit for all those who contributed, both as authors and as commenters :) That means free food.

I did notice this anomaly while I was writing the post, but I guess for "not being a nerd-overlord"-'s sake, we can ignore the dearth of knowledge most people have about the "X-Men" universe (or Greek Mythology).

To be honest, you don't need to sell your soul. You could just rob a few banks and be done with it. Yay for no-burning-in-hell-for-eternity stress on your shoulders!

S'uhas bhai, it's an honor to see you here on my blog :) You are right about the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8. Some say, its even better than the wideangles made by Nikon/Canon which happen to be at least 400 USD over the Tokina.

No nicknames that I know of for the amazing 50mm f/1.2 yet, sorry :( Apner bashay gobhir ratre hamla chalay ekbar niya asa lagbo bhabtasi.

Yah .... behind this NAME STORY, a great mystery remain hidden. GOOD GLASS plays a significant part. Anyway, I think TOKINA 11-16mm f/2.8 is far far better GLASS than the WIGMA .... Tok is crazy sharp even at 2.8 ... !!!

Do u heard any name of the tough metal Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 ??? I need the name plz ...........
