Congrats! IIRC there are two versions of that lens? if so, which one?
Enjoy!

if it says II it is the newer version which I guess is usually good =)

I believe though that there is a pro grade and a consumer grade
version but I have no idea which letter soup denotes which... I am
saving all my pennies for (amongst other unobtainium) a DA*60-250 so I
haven't really been looking at other lenses at all.

but let me put it this way, more lenses are always good unless you're
fresh out of LBA clinic andyour camera wears an electronic lens mount
shackle =)

If I grok sigma letter soup rightly, EX means pro grade all the way through.

If I remember correctly as for the Sigma 70-200/2.8, here are the
different modern versions:

- 70-200/2.8 EX DG
- 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro II (a bit less good than the former)
- 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM (which really wasn't HSM in its Pentax
version but often refered as being HSM in shops)
- 70-200/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II (indeed HSM in Pentax version this time)
- 70-200/2.8 DG Macro HSM OS (why not EX, I dunno but OS means
internal stabilization like Canon IS).
