Hi. My name is Jay. I am new in here. Question about a camera

[rtbaum]

In the heyday of 35mm AF cameras (15-20 years ago) one of the most popular longer lenses was the Sigma 400mm f5.6. Two flavours were made with a standard one costing around £200 and the APO version (if memory serves) at about £280. They were well made, affordable, had built in hoods and not a single one of them had VR/IS but they were incredibly popular with bird photographers who wanted more than the rather basic 70-300mm zooms could offer.

I have one, still a nice lens for the budget minded
