I've had mixed issues with Sigma over the years. I figured I'd give this a go based on early reviews, and I was not disappointed. Good, solid weight and build. Focuses quickly and silently and my images are coming out quite sharp.

My first copy of this lens was beat to hell and leaking oil inside. I still loved it, but had to give it up.
My new copy is in much better shape and I love it even more. Easy to shoot with, quite sharp considering the range it covers.
It's not light, but it is lighter than my 70-200 2.8 IS, and smaller as well.
It's my airshow lens of choice, and my walkabout lens when I'm not carrying my E-P3.

|
Pros:
|
Build quality, sharpness
|
|
Cons:
|
Maybe a bit large and heavy, but not unmanagable
|
|
|
Only reason I sold it is because I moved to APS-H from APS-C. Quality was great, especially for the price.
