		| | While looking for a telephoto lens for myself I saw a Sigma 500mm f4.5 lens on ebay for $999 buy it now. This is not the present model with HSM, its an older, and cheaper version. I haven't found any info on it on the internet. Here is the link: //cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7594232400&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 
 This is more than I want to spend, but I thought it might be usefull for some of you.

		| | Older Sigma lenses may have a problem communicating with the Rebel.  Re-chipping may be necessary. |

 I didn't think Sigma was still re-chipping older lenses. I'd check before buying that the lns either does not nee re-chipping, or if it does that it can be done reasonably.
