    Had the opportunity to photograph T.J., the famous bellman of the Hollywood Tower Hotel last week at the Studios. ; He is ALWAYS in character, and adds another nice touch to the classic attraction.

    that was with the sigma 50-500 OS. ; that lens is freakishly sharp, even when shooting wide open. ; a stunner.

    But they dropped the EX designation, right?

    He has conveniently left out how heavy it was, and has probably one arm now that is stronger than the other. LOL!

    it is rather heavy, but an amazing piece of glass. ; incredibly sharp and gets you into places you never dreamed. ; plus the OS really works well.
     
  11. Love TJ! ; The last time we were there poor guy had laryngitis and his voice was almost completely gone but he stayed in character the whole time - even standing at the back of the library the whole time the video played with that odd look on his face. ; Later, he even loaded elevators giving the whole spiel with no voice. Poor guy!

    I got that with the Nikon 70-200VR f/2.8 when I was shooting late at DHS last December.
