Question to all: What is your opinion on 3rd party lenses like Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc? For example Canon 100 - 400 L comes to 1400-1500 dollars. Sigma 50-500, almost the same price, but with a better focal range.
I am not worried about cost - Given a choice - Which would you choose from, from the same price range? a slightly more versatile third-party or the OEM with slightly lesser feature?
I presume there cannot be straight-forward answer. Just asking for experiences and opinion.
Sigma for Nikon cameras ok nu kelvi pattu iruken... Tamron, some of the lenses are good, some are mokkai...
aahaa, inga ellaarum Nikon polayE! naandhaan thaniyaa maattirukkEn pOla
engal annan KB-yin canon padangala neenga paarthadhillaye?
BTW, please don't start a Nikon vs. Canon war here. andha kodumai oyave oyaadhu ella forum-layum adhu dhaan odum.. ivanungalukkum kedaikkum paarunga x360 vs PS3.. AMD vs Intel.. Canon vs Nikon.. De Niro vs Pacino.. edhaachum onnu

Yes.
Friend got a cheap Sigma lens 70-300 IS lens (with that macro switch that works between 200-300) for his D90. It worked amazing. I don't know the quality of their optics.. but their build quality is very poor. Feels very feeble and plasticky.
WRT Canon lenses, I guess the pricing is almost similar and it would be obvious to go for the Canon counterparts for a few dollars more.
Thanks Venki, Unnoda flickr page a inga share pannaren, embuttu applause varuthu nu mattum paaru...
Makkale intha album a full a paarunga mei maranthu poveenga... Venki & KB were an inspiration for me http://www.flickr.com/photos/venkira...ream/lightbox/

KV, That was wonderful B&W is always special. Dilbert, wow again for that bird capture, well done!.
Thanks Kalyan. Fireworks is always very interesting time and place to take pictures. I too love low-light photography. That's why I am with sathya, as I love Canon there. I believe Canon were the ones who first introduced the CMOS sensors (for low noise) while Nikon were still using CCD sensors. Eventhough they fared well in day light (except for the moire effect), Canon stole the limelight in low-light (atleast till couple of years ago). We could see that in lot of reviews. But now, Nikon started using CMOS and catching up or even excelled Canon. I heard the Canon EOS 550D has all (if not more) the features of Canon 7D. But when it comes to handling, continuous shooting, schneider lenses, nothing can beat Nikon. Hate to compare, but I love this balance very much.

Thanks Kalyan for sharing venki's site. venki, that was mind-blowing Everyone of them is a beautiful 'kavithai'. I loved all of them, especially that dawn shot (brimming with color) with electric lines, the girl in B&W, all droplet shots and close up of peacock.
