Hey all,

To be blunt, I need a good telephoto lens. I've been looking at the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO MACRO DG lens and think it looks pretty good for my purposes. Good price, good portability, and (from what I can tell) good bang for your buck. What I need from you guys is some decent feedback on whether this lens lives up to the hype or if it's too good to be true. Any comments much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

Now that I think about it, this may not have been the right forum to post this in...:sad:

Do a search on this lens in this forum, and you'll find a lot of discussion about it, as well as sample images.

Thanks rey. You know, I moderate a forum of nearly 10,000 users myself, I really should have thought to use the Search function first. This is all just so new to me, I'm not sure where to start! :lol:
