Yeah, this thread died! I have the non-dg version and might sell it and my 500/4 IS to fund an 800L. I don't mind getting rid of the 500/4 but my Siggie? Harder to part with!

Perhaps Sigma will consider re-vamping this baby with OS. Ian - http://www.icassell.smugmug.com

Perhaps Sigma will consider re-vamping this baby with OS. I think this lens has an AF issue where the AF doesn't work at all with 1.4x TC's on a Canon mount. Regards, Gareth Cooper GMCPhotographics

Canon recently updated the software on the 5DIII and the 1DX so that they will AF to f/8. Has anyone tried this lens with a TC on those bodies? Ian - http://www.icassell.smugmug.com
