Hey everyone!
Just starting my birding photography career on a rather low budget, so far I've got a Canon 40D body and am looking for a lens now...money not stretchable beyond 400pound really and right now I'm considering the Canon 70-300 IS USM or the newer Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG OS....from what I see the lowest price here for me is 330 euro for the sigma and 420 for the canon....so the 90Euro would be nice to save if there's not such a crazy difference between the two...and the sigma even has optical stabilization in it!
anyone has experience with both or at least the sigma (cause for that one there's not many reviews out there it seems)...importance of course lying on the higher areas of zoom, i.e. 250-300..... what do you think?
help would be greatly appreciated!
