Sigma 70-300mm HSM

Does anyone have/used one of these.

Would it be good for sports and landscape shots?

Looks cheap for an HSM, might consider myself...

They advise the RRP @ being £95.00, but it does seem good value.

BUMP, anyone used one?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist, and that model is the non-apo version.

I work not too far, I may pop in afterwork. What is apo?

The APO version is £129.00

apochromatic.
Basically the apo version is more expensive and has a better image quality.

Cheers chap, something to make a note of. Is this a term specific to Sigma lenses or would my 18-55mm VR which came with my D60 Nikon have it as well as the 70-200mm Nikon lens I aslo have?
