I'm after a 300mm lense for my D70 for < £400.
Main use will be outside taking pictures of boats, so may be moving fast - usually not!
I'm looking at (number in bracket is score from fm reviews):
Sigma 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 Aspherical Macro - not good reviews (5.9)
Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro Super DG
Tamron AF 28-300mm XR Di LD Aspherical Macro IF f3.5-6.3 (8)
AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G or AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED

What's the difference between the Nikkor G, and D ED?
According to Ken Rockwell...
"It ought to be similar to the 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED AF since I suspect it has the same optics. This G lens has sloppier mechanics and a plastic mount; the three times as expensive ED version has a metal mount. I suspect the glass is the same on both but haven't actually shot them head-to head to confirm."
