After reading all these posts on how great Sigma is, I have decided to trade
in my 2 F5's, my D2X, my 2 FM2's, my D70 and my 10,000 quids worth of Nikon
Glass for 4 Sigma SD10 Bodys and some of those high build quality lenses
that Sigma has to offer. Where is a good place in the UK?
I'm really looking forward to hanging out with journos now I will have a
professional camera with a big sigma logo they will all be envious of.

Well, I am lusting after one too. I'm a bit short of the readies so I was
thinking of renting my two year old daughter out as a whore to the local
policemen and politicians in order to earn enough to buy one of those
wonderful cameras.

You'll be lucky - It's unlikely you'll get more than 1 of the highly
prized SD10s for that lot.  Of course if you threw in your house, wife
and grandmother....

It's all right for you. I've just gone and invested in some Mamiya 645 kit
from Ebay. Now I'm going to have to sell it all because not even
medium-format can begin to approach the amazing quality obtainable from the
SD10! I just feel so ashamed...

;-)

Simple! Glue a Sigma SD10 back on, Ram a Sigma lense in the front, get some
black paint and Tippex and paint a Sigma logo, and hey, how jealous will
everyone be with the first Sigma medium format gear, and think of the
quality.
