Sigma Lens arriving tomorrow!

[TomRussell]

UPS is reporting my Sigma EX f/2.8 70-200mm lens as:

In Transit - On Time
Sched. Delivery: Jul 15, 2004
Service Type: NEXT DAY AIR

So it should arrive here tomorrow morning.

I'll be sure to photo its arrival moment and then put forward a 'first impressions' review for you all!

so it arrived.

Dear god it's nice.

build quality A*, although it's a bit heavy. autofocus is zippy, but not as zippy as some smaller lenses are.

Full-time manual focusing is actually quite a good tool from what i can tell after such a short amount of time playing with it.

And it comes with a good bag!

Anyway. Full review with pictures in a few days when i get back from florida.

Tom, you're really going to like this lens. I have one in Pentax mount and it's really sweet.
