Plus a few random sets that I have when I used the lens:

Overall its a good lens for its price point, a but softer at the 200-300mm range when using it as a telephoto lens and at fullsize the shots are noticeably weaker than higher priced lenses. As a close up lens (fake macro) it does quite surprisingly well with the long focal length giving a good background blur and the overall image quality being a bit higher.
If I got the option again I'd go for the sharper APO version, but the original version certainly sealed my photography addiction!

Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too
