    Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8 HSM

    I have one - bought it second hand and it is a nice bit of kit. As I am sure others will tell you on the forum it is all about getting a sharp copy. I was lucky and managed to.

    Jessops rant

    Photobox prints problem

    I use Loxley and they have not let me down yet. They have always bent over backwards and the good thing is you can ring up and speak to them!
