Israel was a great photographer that I looked up to and highly respected. His work was always of the highest quality. He was (and will remain) on my "A List" of favorites on Pbase. Even though I can no longer look forward to your new images, I will continue to admire the work you left behind.

Rest in Peace, Israel

מצטערת על לכתו בטרם עת של ישראל צלם-אמן כה מוכשר שהביא לנו כל כך הרבה יופי והרחבת הדעת בצילומיו.
משתתפת בצער הקרובים לו.
יהיו עבודתו וצילומיו יד לזכרו.

To the family

Israel was a very talented man. His photos are truely inspiring. I am very sorry for your loss - and would hope his gallery stays on the web for years to come - such that his love for photography does not get lost.
מימי 29-Nov-2010 13:00
יהי זכרו ברוך. לא הכרתיו אך הצילומים שלו כל כך נפלאים שזה באמת מצער שהלך כך בטרם עת, עוד יכול היה להמשיך ולהעשיר את עולמנו בראייה המדוייקת והרגישה שלו דרך עדשת המצלמה.
אכן, אבידה כבדה.

Hello,

I see that you have used both the nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S and the Sigma 500mm f/4.5
Please could you let me know which lens out of the above has a better IQ. Is sigma better then the 300mm f/4 + 1.4 TC?

Kind Regards
Tabish
