it was deliberate mis-wording!

a check with my personal "dictionary"!

big ma ma = second most authoritative person in a household (sometimes.... most authoritative?

) = the queen = akin to be very powerful equipment things or simply means big.

Finally got the Bigma 2 days ago after having used the 50-200mm + 1.4TC combo for the past 3 months. Will give some comments & samples after this weekend's birding.

I got one from CP and the other one from TK Foto. Both cost $1810 cash. CP's stock will only be available end of this month. Maybe you can check with TK.

I think the colors look pretty nice yeah? Still got the "bokeh"? (hope i'm using the term correctly...) effect, although just slightly...

Honestly, I am quite disappointed with the Bigma.
