First of all: thanks, miro.

BTW: I still remembered one of your images from old PZ time. The silhouette of man drinking beer at early morning.[/quote]
Just reposted that one in the Urban section.
I will also promise to post more images here again. In the last two years or so, I mainly sent my personal favourites around by email to a few people only. I may repost some of them here. Maybe some older images, previously posted in the old forum, too.

1. Do you keep in mind that Sigma 105 OS is on the horizon too? I find the 150mm less useful that 100mm on APS-C.[/quote]
Definitely. However, so far it is only available in Canon mount. I'll buy one as soon as the F-mount version is released. Same applies to the 50-150 OS. The 12-24 II will be handled by Klaus.

2. How does it feel Sigma 150 OS. E.g as far as I understood the lens MF ring rotates 160 degree. The non OS version rotates 270 degree and I find it just good enough.[/quote]
Yes, around 160 degress. Not a big issue for me, but as I said already, I'm not really a passionate macro shooter anyway (and I'll probably never will be).

3. OS – a still figuring out what OS/VC/IS brings to me.

Well, I think it's quite useful when the lens is used as a "regular" tele lens. When the light gets dim, I prefer to stay in lower ISO ranges and rely on OS to do the work.
