The 300/4 will be available any day now. In a medium to long zoom, you'll soon have the DA* 60-250. Either lens should be superior to the Sigma. Personally, after owning a couple of their lenses and their flash I won't buy anything Sigma makes. But that's just me. Paul On Apr 26, 2008, at 9:0

As the A contacts only pass max and minimum aperture, no variable-aperture zoom will pass correct info to a SuperA/Program unless the zoom is at minimum length. It takes an F or later body and lens for correct aperture info to be passed for variable-aperture zoom. -Adam On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 6:
