Bought a counter copy from B&H on ebay for 600.00 plus change. It is great glass for the price

That's not bad... I'll have to start researching a bit, I need a better bird lens that won't break the bank at the same time - the 70-200 f/2.8 just isn't cutting it.

Thats a killer lens maybe a Tamron 2x MC7 multiplier? costs about 80.00

Lolvey bird and a classic shot. Jealous! Bald Eagles in the wild are high on my list of thngs to shoot. Been to Florida 8 times and only ever saw them in the distance, but hoping I get a chance in Yellowstone next year!

NIce shots....but man that's some blue sky (maybe a tad over saturated).

Great set!

The Bigma is a good lens and inexpensive in the grand scheme of things...with Sigmas less than stellar QC, finding a good one can be a little bit of a treasure hunt though. Had one when I shot Nikon and loved it.

100-400L is another fantastic one.

I think sigmas QC is basically in their past. I have had several newer versions of sigma lenses and have all been stellar performers for the $$$$$
