F4 to F5.6 on the Sigma means you'll have to be a little more careful taking shots in low light indoors. But not that much, it's only about 1/3 stop. That's no big deal, I'm sure you'll love messing around with it! Glad you like the blog! Cool!

I bought a DISCOUNT sigma telephoto on amazon - it's okay - but I may have to get the brand name wideangle.. love the blog.

One thing I read about ultra-wide angle is that newbies have a tendency to use wider angle than necessary and get all sorts of extra crap on the sides, because of the wow-factor. So I've been actively fighting the urge to just leave it at 10mm. Similarly, I've also decided that this is the last post I'll make about the lens itself. I feel like I'm getting dangerously close to being one of those guys that talks equipment but never uses it. (Except that I actually use it...) From here on out, there'll be photos taken with the lens, but without all the "gee whiz" commentary. ;-) I think I got it out of my system... There’s definitely a learning curve to it.
