Originally posted by crewl1 My intended use for this lens will be for outdoor school sports where my Sigma 70-200 needs a little more reach for the far end of the field, and could go a little wider to catch all the action when it gets close.
I've owned a 170-500 previously so my expectations from this lens are reasonable.
I've been keeping an eye out for a good used one but at this price 'new with Sigma warranty' is a no-brainer.
I'd look very hard at the DA* 60-250. although I usually hang out with primes,, I"ve found this piece of glass remarkable all the way out,
and easily hand held.
