The reason you're pissing a lot of people off - even those (like me) who do not personally know the person whose work you've decided to gratuitously insult - is because you're acting like a jerk, apparently just for the sake of doing so.
Repeated behavior like this going unchecked by moderators has driven me off of many photography boards over the years: I hope that doesn't happen yet again...

If you keep posting pictures of beautiful Hawaii and keep talking about all the islands you've visited I might have to block you as well! 😂😭👍🏻

First Maui, then Kauai and now Oahu this trip. Love them all but I think I love Oahu the most which is surprising because it seems to be the island most people dislike. Would love to buy a place here.
glowhunter is a troll who occasionally emerges from under his bridge to make nasty comments. You'd be wise to ignore him, for example:

Okay, I can't take anymore of this, Uncle! Ordering my 105mm F1.4 and putting my venerable 105mm F2.5 AI on the chopping block.
One question though, I do some inclement weather shooting and wonder which NC filter brand people haven't had issues with the bayonet hood clearing it? My other lenses I use the Nikon NC ones but a recent search claims the Nikon one is not very robust.
Lisa do not take any notice whatsoever! You are a huge inspiration to so many photographers, myself included. I love all your work especially the ones done with the 200mm. If I'm half as good as you are one day I will be extremely happy!
No I think she's only great because of her 200mm f2... If I keep repeating that my shots will magically look like hers and I'll feel justified in picking up my Nikon 200mm VRII. 😂

Wow, aren't you a ball of sunshine. Do you have a website? I'd love to check out what must surely be an amazing and varied portfolio! Please inspire me, oh fantastic amazing one!!
You obviously haven't gone over my work much because I have many many images and sessions that are not all about using my 'magical' lens. In fact, I just did a shoot indoors in a 50's diner. No room for the 200 in there, gosh darn it! How will I hide my poor technique now??
Lisa, this is totally off the subject but just wondering what you think of the new Nikon lenses and if you ever thought about switching over to Nikon?
If seating vs. FL works out, I should get some MMA shots this weekend with the 105.
Haven't taken it out much, but got some shots around the pool this past weekend.
I don't like Lisa's work either, doesn't mean she isn't good at what she does. Just looks over processed in my opinion but now days if you don't over process, your work looks boring because everyone who isn't a pro is over processing and the "normal" people don't know any better.
The using bokeh as a crutch statement was stupid. Simple as that.

Just took this lens for an extended test shoot today, ain't for me. Specially with the "pseudo" swm nylon gear af. Aside from that bokeh is so so, my 85D will suffice. $2.2K?? C'mon Nikon, how about a 200mm f4 micro FL AFS refresh?

It might not be for you, but it's great for others...I did a shoot on the weekend, a couple of photos above. Out of 600 photos 10 were with the sigma 50 and the rest were with the 105.
It worked for headshots, it worked for mid length, it worked for full body. It just worked. Super sharp with great bokeh.
