I have today come across a used Sigma 300F2.8 at a reasonable price.Has anyone on BF ever used this lens esp with a 2x.The only reviews I can find are on the Fred Miranda site.Quite varied,a couple of chaps said some screws fell out of the mounting!!!!,others said it was a great lens,others rubbish.I realise it would not be as sharp as the Canon 300F2,that lens I could never afford,and I can never see a used Canon lens.Should it produce sharper images using the 2x than the non existent Canon 400F5.6.There would be a slight drop in magnification.
Would I be better to wait for the Canon 400F5.6. I have tried the Gallery,but no images are shown using this lens,so perhaps it is not for BF members ,which speaks for itself.Incidentally WE are selling this lens for 1k off its normal retail price,so do you think there may be probs.
Any advice greatly appreciated,many thanks,
Christine
