I own only 2 Sigma lenses, the 180mm f:3.5 macro, and the 30mm 1.4 as lower cost alternatives.
But they sell a lot of very average lenses, and their teles are much heavier and less sharp than Canons.
I agree, but there are few alternatives (for wildlife and birds in my case).
People spend a lot of money for their sports/hobbies (do you know how much bikes cost nowadays ?)
Possibly, but if you had jumped in every new camera system announcing the dead of the classic DSLR you would have lost a lot more money than staying with Canon (or Nikon).
All good points and for the most part I am in complete agreement.
However, unless a photographer is exceedingly talented, or a working professional who "has to get the shot" to be paid, we are the problem and not our gear. By "we" I mean the average amateur with copious amounts of expensive gear and limited talent.
As the saying goes - Amateurs obsess over gear, professionals obsess over the money, and photographers obsess over the light.
Now if only I could buy some expensive golf clubs to enable me to play golf like Jordon Speith!
