The sigma 100-300 F4 is good but I believe more expensive.

I don't think you need to have a macro lens to get the texture of a bird's feathers. A lens with the designation Macro in it's name is just one that will focus on objects relatively close to the camera, such as about a foot or less. Being a Macro says nothing about what level of sharpness a lens can achieve. Here's a bird shot with plenty of texture in the feathers which was taken using a telephoto that will not focus any closer than about 6-8 feet.

Cool, how much did you pick up that thing for? I've been looking at the IS version but it's not as sharp, and I can't find the non-IS new. Altho... the IS with the converter would be cool!
