      Listen, junior. I've been doing photography since 1966 in one form or another, many years as a business. I've seen a lot of Sigma products and am well aware of what the company makes and who they market to. Their cameras are junk. But if you like 'em, what do I give a shit? Just don't try yanking my crank and telling me they're great, because I know better.
