Hello everyone.. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of the off-brand 300mm f/2.8 lenses (the Nikkor being far far too expensive for me) It seems like the Sigma, Tamron and Tokinas are about $2200 US... is any one of them a stand-out above the others?? at about half the price of the Nikon AF-S, they are tempting.... thanks --chris Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
