Hi there, this is my first post on the forums, so hope it's not too stupid a question!
I've been looking for a longer zoom lens for my Nikon d40 and up till now had my heart set on the Nikon 70-300mm VR. Today I stumbled across the above Sigma lens, which I understand now autofocuses on the d40, having the HSM "function".
So basically, do people think that the Nikon is worth being double the price of the Sigma or is the Sigma going to do just as good a job? After all, it's not what you've got but what you do with it right? [Sadly I don't have much and can't do a lot with it!|:$|]
Obviously, more desirable would be a Nikon 300mm prime, but that'll have to wait a while I think...
Cheers,
Rich
