Hello all! Finally I´ve decided to get a new zoom for my F-50, after shooting with the 35-80mm f4-5.6 for 1½ year. I had a look at the Sigma AF 70-300 f4-5.6 DL Macro Super and to me it seemed ok. If there is somebody who has used this zoom I would be more than glad to hear your experiences about it. And also from other 3rd party 70-300mm zooms. I´ve planned to spend around 300-400$ but if the Nikon AF 70-300mm f4-5.6D ED is far superior than the others I might consider getting it for the 500$ wich it costs here in Finland. But as I am a poor student I would rather get a cheaper one if the quality isnt so much worse. As this is not Nikon specific feel free to email me directly. TIA Jukka
