Sigma 70-200 f2.8

[simpo two]

I'm looking for one of these, second-hand in good condition. If you have one, or wish to de-lens a friend, please mail me. Ta!

Good choice .
I've got one and it's definitely not for sale!!

I have got a 55-200 in the classifieds tho...

If it's f2.8 and fits a Nikon, I'll check the piggy bank...

[HankScorpio]

Nah, it's the cheap one...

Hmm, £565. I don't need one that badly; I had £300 in mind! Thanks for the link though.

Simpo - I picked up a Nikkor 80 - 200 F2.8 AF ED off Ebay for less than £300 so you should find one. You may just have to wait a while.

That's excellent - but I really need AF-S. While that lens is grinding away trying to focus I'm missing the moment! At least, if it's anything like the 70-300 I will be...

I'm very pleased with the HSM on the Sigma, couple of thousand shots and I really can't remember it hunting once or not being as fast as I want.
Not sure you'll find one for 300 but you might get lucky.
They're still going for around 400 on ebay.

With a handy tip-off from Hank, Simpo is now tooled up
Muchos gratias

Some excellent last minute bidding there to snap up a bargain

It wasn't cheap but when compared to retail, an absolute bargain. I paid 90 odd more just for the lens!

Looking forward to your opinion and some samples...
