I did it. I decided to buy the Sigma 400mm f5.6 lens multi-coated. Came with
72mm UV filter, lens cap, tripod collar and came with its own 10cm sliding
lens hood and leather soft pouch. On second inspection the two dust marks
were on the outside of the rear element and were able to be cleaned off. So
I would rate this lens a good 8+.
I was able to barter the lens down to AUS$150 (approx US$80). So was this a
good buy.
I haven't seen the images from it yet but just using it today and with a 2x
converter, the images that I was taking of guys surfing looked very clear.
Plus we have the Gold Coast Indy Champ Car racing in about 1 1/2 months. I
am hoping to get grandstand seating so this lens will be perfect for the
day.
Cheers Adam
