I owned the Sigma 300 2.8 before I switched to the Nikon version and that lens was anything but sharp, so glad to keep hearing that the Sigma is turning around. Everyone that owns the 100-300 seems to be very happy with it.

Wish they would come out with a 200-400 2.8. That would be nice!
Thanx Jason, yes a 200-400 would be awesome. I love being able to zoom in and out. I know people say a fixed lens makes you a better photographer but there's a lot of shots I can get that I would miss with a fixed 300. All personal preference I guess but I'm happy with my results.

Thanx again.

Having asked that question... I have been using the expodisc at high school stadiums and as some of my posted images have shown, my white balance has been less than true. Is it best to let the camera decide with the auto setting??
Doug I use auto for stadium lights and just clean it up if necessary in Photoshop. I always use the expodisc indoors though.

No flash. just some settings good enough to get the night shots for that stadium. Thanx!
