Saralonde,

thank you so much for convincing me to purchase the Sigma APO DG 70-300mm.

I think I will get one in the next 2 weeks at most.

Anyone have any views on the Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Canon fit lens? I believe that's a budget lens available in the UK for under £200.00.

Got the Sigma 70-300mm a few weeks ago. Finally had a chance to put it to use for a few moon shots. Here's the best one:
