I have had the Sigma and I sold it only because I found someone  
willing to sell me the DZ 50-200 very cheaply.  The Sigma is quite a  
bit lighter than the DZ, but the quality is good as far as I could  
tell.  Because it is lighter and shorter you are probably more likely  
to have it stashed in your bad than the big DZ.
