If I was going to get another long non-zoom I think I'd go for something around 200mm since I already have the Apo 5.6/400 and the results I get with that are okay. I can really do without chromatic aberration.

Your right. I have seen very few for sale. That might mean something good.:-)

I wouldn't part with mine, works well with the 1.4 & 2x EX converters as well!

I have bad experience with the Sigma manual focus lenses.... I'd suggest looking for a fixed focal length lens. The AF 300/4 APO Macro is a great lens for the price. And I'm not the only one on this list with that opinion. It is not "rare" but I hardly ever see them for sale.
