Yakim,
I have a couple of comments that you may find useful.
-avoid Minolta 28/2, it produces "artefacts" in strong light - at least on my A100
-on contrary Minolta/Sony 28/2.8 works great and is small and "cute"
-there are confirmed rumors of Sigma lens incompatibility with A55/A33, see www.photoclubalpha.com
-(OT) 500/8 AF reflex is unfortunately discontinued, while it should be a hit with A55 if the viewfinder image gets stabilized; it's worth to get one while the stock lasts
-(OT) you are in Israel, aren't you? Show me the camera when you get it <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.

Thank you for the info Oleg.
1. At this point I am not planning to buy any 28/2.8 or Sigma lens.
2. I am also not going to buy the 500/8 as it is simply too long for me. I have the 300/4 IS and I am selling it only because I don't use it. Then again, if I can get my hands on a Minolta 250/5.6 I'll probably buy it. It's just so small and cute.... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
3. If it will be in stock you are welcome to contact me in about a month's time.
