Originally posted by normhead My big concern with it is that it might not stack up well to my DA*60-250 in IQ, and I won't use it.
At distance i prefer my takumars, but like it better than my tamron 18-250. Surprisingly at the 250 end with the 1.4x tc up close it complements my sigma 70. When i just can't get close enough i won't think twice about it.

I had just been out shooting my backyard with the 55-300plm 1.4x combo handheld but went to the sigma on tripod due to the angle I wanted. So here is a comparison close enough to give you and idea.
55-300 neither RAW was processed except a little exposure maybe.
70
The 55-300 is about 3 feet away and the sigma is about 3 inches away.
