Sigma 70-300mm 4/5.6 DG OS reviews?

Hi Guys

Reviews seems to be thin on the ground and no test shots can be found.

Thanks

I've got the non OS, APO version of that which was far cheaper, I know it's not the same but still it does okay!

This was from it's first outing / my first play with it back in 2006 didn't realise it was that old!



My point is, I don't reckon any of these lenses are bad but I'm happy with my even cheaper Sigma 70-300!

Nice and sharp - Is that straight from the camera?

I'm not overly keen on spending £100 more than I need to.

The one without OS is £199 with is £299.

I'm not clever enough to do any 'processing' and in general I don't like it. So yes, that was the original pic just resized by photobucket when I uploaded it I think.

Thanks for your help but I opted for a canon 50-250mm IS jobby thing.
