    We are heading out west to Yellowstone on vacation next week. I have a Sony A57 DSLR w. a decent Sony 70-300mm lens, but I wasn't sure if that lens would do Yellowstone justice so I ended up renting a BIG lens. It's a 50 to 500mm which is supposed to be more like 750mm on my camera. It's a Simga 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do.

    I've seen some real nice shots taken with the "Bigma" lens. Good luck with it on your trip, can't wait to see the pics.

    That is gonna be about right for Yellowstone. I just got back from there a couple weeks ago. There is opportunity after opportunity for some unbelievable pics out there. I got some great ones, I just haven't posted any yet. Good luck and have fun, it's a great time.
