That's a sweet lens Randy. Sharp, crisp, well saturated color.

I've shot with one quite a bit and like it only if shooting with a pod. That's a pretty heavy piece of glass :thumb

The next lens on my want list. Nice shoots. :thumb

Hi Randy,

I'm in the process of saving for a new lens at the moment :D I've heard that the 120-300/2.8 is a sharper lens than the Sigma 300/2.8 prime. As an owner of both lenses, can you confirm? :dunno

While I would love to have a Nikkor 300/2.8 AFS prime, it's just not in my price range, so I will have to either go "used" or save a little more for the Sigma. You thoughts on both lenses would be appreciated greatly! :D

Oh yeah... nice shots too :clap Who said girls don't play tough?! :D

Cheers,
Kenny

Randy,
Nice Bokeh and it looks a little "Sigma Contrast-y" - do you have a similar feeling about it?

Thanks Randy... I'm starting to lean towards the zoom now :D A zoom in that range with that quality has to be a worthy motorsport lens!

Thanks again and happy shooting.
