Wanting to purchase a Telescopic Lens

[Kym]

The Sigma 70-300 APO (avoid the non APO) is a good affordable zoom in that range, and has a 1:2 macro capability.

I have the Sigma 50-500 which I use for birds, but it is heavy, other use the 150-500 which is also good for birds.
FWI 300mm is too generally short for birds.

Also: Sigma lenses can be bought local with a grey market price match...
Print this page and take it with you to the camera shop http://www.crkennedy.com.au/v1/index.cfm?pageID=465

We will attempt to match, through our authorised Sigma dealer network, any legitimate advertised internet price on Sigma lenses by these grey importers.ﾠThese prices do not include traditional pre-sales and after sales service normally given by your local retail store. We suggest that you research the product thoroughly before making any purchase.

So, if you buy Sigma ask the camera shop to arrange a CR Kennedy special price.
