About Hello :) I just bought a new lens: Sigma APO 70-300 4-5.6 super macro II (lens and marks are so loong ;) ). Generally I use wide-angle lenses and that's a Canon L. I was decided to try a telezoom, something cheap (just for check utility for me) : 1000 pln (about 286$; our taxes suxx! ) with 3 years warranty. Well I can say it's cool glass for that money. Optic is quite sharp and contrasty. Build quality is OK. Autofocus suck: noisy, slow... :| OMG when it works lens and camera are quaky. But for this prize it's nice choice. IMO optic is much better then Canon 70-300 and 100-300. No chromatic abberrations (really tiny). Stopped down to f8 - f11 @ 300mm it's sharp. For 200mm it's sharp from F5.6 Well I'm happy with this Sigma.

ps. sorry for my english...
1/400 f6.3 @ 300mm
