As title implies, I need your toughts about those two lenses - both available in a BR store, in a distant southeast city so there is absolutely no way to run tests. :-(

The FA 100-300 4.7 is a little more expensive, the Sigma 70-300 4.5-5.6 DL is some $30 cheaper. Both are used, signs of wear, both have been serviced but they claim the maintenance was made by a sound shop. The FA 100-300 has a composite mount, from the pics I've seen, and is regarded by some as a poor lens - so poor that the compact Sigma is a better choice??

Your comments are important - is there anyone who had hands experience with both, and could elaborate on the differences? Is there any important point in either lens that should dictate my choice?

I just received a M42 200mm 4.0 for the formal, slow performances, so the intended purpose of this new lens is to be carried in my everyday bag next to the DS and the kit lens. All my lenses should be able to cover 35mm, and present aperture rings - the 18-55 being excused since it came along the DS.

TIA, folks!
