Hi All!
While I am still looking for a used Sigma AF 100-300/4,
I found, that according to Adorama, there are two versions of it
with the only difference that one has an additional designation DG.

The DG rating is just an improved coating on some Sigma lenses. It is said
to improve digital performance by reducing fringing and reflections of
reflections off of the sensor. I have the non DG 50mm EX Macro and it is
very good on the DS, although the DG version may be in some way better.
Hi,
A friend of mine, a Leica user, has used a black Sharpie to fill in the
lettering on the beauty ring of some of his Leica lenses. Combined with
gaffer tape over the infamous red dot, or, on one of his bodies, a

I agree. A camera is certainly not less noticeable because the logo is
