Sigma 500mm f/4.5 APO EX HSM

Anybody got any experience with this lens ?

Its half the price of the Canon equivalent (Would love the 500mm L but cant really afford either at the moment) and have seen some reviews which seem pretty good ? Just wondered if anybody had any 1st hand experience and knew of any pitfalls other than no IS or red ring ?

Thanks

Have a chat with Pink Fairy who was selling one in this thread

If you follow the link to his site he has a quick review as well.

Think thats a slightly different version (not APO) but made for interesting reading all the same ! It certainly sounds like a decent alternative to the Canon ! all i need now is a decent lotto win or sell a kidney and i could afford it !

Thanks for the heads up !

Wonder what happened to Pink Fairy ?
