Found this on ebay, does anyone know if it is real and is it worth the money.

Wouldn' think it will be much cop, its the non APO version of 70-300mm which in my experience wasn't up to much. It wasn't sharp anywhere near 300mm, hunted a lot during focusing and was loud with it so everyone around you new it. Probs best to stay away IMO :)

£153 plus £20 P+P plus 20% ,they say no collection fees so total is: £207 or so. Lens' can be picked up for about £75 and £95 or so, basically paying about £40 for the extras, I think I'd stick to UK buying if it were me.

Agreed, I have that sigma lens [70-300 non APO], was initially not too bad but started dying before I went away, sounding noisier mechanically and getting noticeably softer at the 300mm end, so bashing it on rocks probably didnt help when I slipped, but it was already fading fast at 18mths old and is now virtually dead. As already mentioned, better buying UK, or at least somewhere like onestop-digital, that are at least reputable albeit imports.

The 70-300 APO is much better lens and can be picked up second hand for around £70 in good condition. I would think you are much better off doing that...

the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 costs £229 at jessops, is his correct?

It's Jessops so it could be :D

But it should really be about £60 I think you have found the price for the F2.8 not the F2.8/F4

oops,your right, my mistake..

I'd be weary of that store, they add on 20% after you've won the Auction, so the prices are misleading. And as I think someone said its the non APO version, I looked at that kit for my canon which at first seemed a bargain, but I now think otherwise.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Will give it a miss and save some money for the really deal.
