I was out and about just after work today anywho call comes over the radio blah blah and I was there.

I thought people who are wondering about purchasing the sigma 70 - 200 may appreciate an image such as this. (also the image had a hoya HMC UV filter on it for all you quality-ophiles)

It's a link to the page the photo is on you will need to click on the image to see the full resolution version, also I wasn't sure about posting this in general or reviews or whatever but I thought since it's a topic for general discussion this was an ok spot.

Enjoy.

Michael

I don't get to use this lens very much which is unfortunate but when I do use it, It's such a cost effective lens.

nothing against nikon glass, someday I hope to own the 70 - 200 vr and other bits and pieces.

Nice and sharp, Michael. I wouldn't bother changing from that lens to the 70-200 VR, sirhc55 and I compared the two and they are very close except the VR. Big difference in price for VR. I am sure Birddy will have a new dream lens to tempt us with in the next year :wink:
