Yeah, I'm pretty well satisfied with the 7-14, 14-54, 50-200, plus 1.4X TC
sometimes, and 50 macro and occasional extension tube. I do sometimes still
hook up to the 300/2.8 Tamron, with or without 1.4X or 2X TCs, or the 500/8
Zuiko, but that's about it. I can't think of a single Sigma that interests me.
Maybe they'll surprise me come August, or whenever. But I doubt it.
I've even just about quit using the MF Zuikos -- except on the OMs, of course,
where they belong. :-)
