Yes. after debating for over a month, I finally just ordered the Sigma 70-300mm DG APO Macro for Canon from Amazon.com.

Here is the lens's page on DPC.

I had my eyes on the Canon 70-200 f/4 non IS one, but dont have enough money saved up yet. Moreover, I want to grow into better lenses with my skills and dont want to jump into the L series yet.

I am very excited...wish me luck guys:-)

I have that lens, and I have been really impressed with it - bang for bucks you get a huge amount. I upgraded to the canon 100-400L, but still sometimes use the 70-300 - indeed I am taking it with me to Rome tomorrow!

You won't be disappointed, the Sigma is a fine lens and real value for money. It compares well with the Tamron 70-300mm.

Enjoy it:))

I too had that lens (well, the pre-DG version) and I liked it very much. I found it to be sharp even at 300mm.

Wow. Great pictures!

After reading many many reviews, I am kind of expecting it to be soft in teh 200-300mm range.. but I also know that most people dont like to use tripods when needed, so part of the softmess could be that.

Cant wait to try it on...
