Again like a gift catalog I go through the net looking for the telephoto zoom I will like and find a useful and happy addition. I use a Nikon D70 and a small digital carry camera.

Looking at this Sigma lens(see link) can anyone provide advice? I read reviews...who knows. And, the dumb question, since this lens is not "specifically" for digital cams, will that present any problems?

This lens is not inexpensive but is much less than some Nikon offerings and faster telephotos I simply cannot afford. This lens at the top of my possible spending level.

There is a link to the Sigma site on this lens.

Thanks to anyone for any advice. Thanks, TomDart.

Tom, I do not have any first hand experience, but the local newspaper's sports photographer uses this lens. I have seen some of her work, and the photos are sharp and clear. As far as operations, such as focus speed, etc. I do not know.
