can i ask where you bought it from and the cost please, and can you let me know how you get on with this lens, as i am thinking of getting one myself after crimbo, as i just bought a sigma 70-300mm apo, and am still waiting for it to arrive from onestop digital,hopefully in the next couple of days :thumbs:
 
She's a beaut! You won't be disappointed. Here's a macro shot I took with mine a while ago

See prices here:

cameras2u (Jessops in disguise) are the cheapest with the discount code, and on top of that it is free next day delivery over £100 as standard. I have used them before to buy a lens and had no problem so if it is in stock I would recommend them.

On an APS-C camera it has the equivalent field of view of a 28-105 at 35mm (with a little bit more width on a Nikon, or a little bit more length on a Canon). A nice general purpose range and a nice lens, mine is on my camera about 90% of the time.

In fact I have never seen a bad word said of it. If only it had a constant 2.8 and HSM then it would be unbeatable.

thanks guys, it looks great although dissapointed it does'ent have the constant 2.8 still i guess that would up the price somewhat, thats also a good offer from camerapricebuster, i actually got jessop,s to price match on one of these deals when i bought my D50 a few months ago, so hopefully if they still have still have the offer on after xmas, i may be able to go and pick it up from the shop and not worry about delivery, thats if jessops still price match then, as they seem to change from week to week, heres hoping :thumbs:
