I could never really predict what my results were going to be.

Ever since going digital I've not been too happy with my Sigma 70-300 (apo macro super). At 300mm the quality is absolutely apalling. Well, it horrified me the last time I used it :-) I also own the 80-320 and kept meaning to take it out to do a comparison in similar conditions as I'd used the sigma the last time. Unfortunately paying jobs kept getting in the way and I was always forgetting about it. Hmm. maybe a project for the weekend coming in a fortnights time. I often wondered about the FAJ70-300 myself. Newer design, designed for digital.
