Yes, Mine and Bong's copy were the first 2 that were sold locally by JT Photoworld. You can ask them when the next shipment is due. Here's another test shot PPed in my usual work flow. 40D + Sigma 150-500mm @ 500mm, f 6.3, 1/500 sec, ISO 400, Handheld, OS on, Manual Exposure, RAW capture  |

I have a question regarding the aperture of this lens if set to 200mm, 300mm and 400mm. I know that it's a 6.3 at the long end (500mm).
Thanks a lot kabayans.

Who's Tony? and is he really selling it for P38k? Yup Tony Leung of New Sankyo. Ive ordered a few items and had it shipped here in 2 days. No problems and its cheap P38k if the rate is 5.5, It varies everyday but usually its 5.5-6. I just emailed them abt the APO 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM for Canon. Ill fill you in how much itll cost. Btw to all the 40d users using the new lenses of Sigma check this notice click this www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/news/info_080527.htm |

Hey guys, i'm on the verge of purchasing one too. Alanranch, who's the guy who can give it for 38k? is that at JT Photo? I'm ready to buy one to replace my 170-500...
Neon, thanks for the tests, i think i'm convinced!
Any of you think if the Bigma is still a better lens?
