I recently came across what appeared to be a good deal on a Sigma 80-400 EX OS lens but noticed it doesn't have the DG designation. Does anyone have any experience with this lens? I would be using it on a 50D. I see some good reviews but most of them are for the DG version.

It means it is a bit older and probably has older coatings on the glass. You may want to doublecheck it works on digitals. Some of the older Sigmas have compatibility issues. As far as performance, I would not expect much difference.

Thanks tkbslc. He says he has verified it works on a digital Rebel and it will work on all digital EOS cameras. I just wasn't sure if not having the DG coatings would be a serious drawback.
