I have had this lens for about 18 months. The Bristol Cameras shop is a very small 'corner site' but with my "Christmas Money" in early January I turned up wanting to buy a 70-300 zoom for my Canon 350D. Amazingly they happened to have on the premises every Canon, Sigma and 'other' combination or equivalent lenses and having bought my camera with me, I was able to 'try' them all out including the far more expensive Canon IS equivalent. Truth to tell, I could have bought any of them but in the end bought this Sigma because on the same camera body with the same lighting conditions I decided that this was the best and today, I don't regret my choice, all that I can say.

Question: Will the Sigma Lens 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 APO DG Macro fit an Olympus 4/3rds.
Bristol Cameras Answer: I'm afriad Sigma don't manufacture either of their 70-300 (APO and non APO) lenses in the 4/3rds fitting unfortunately so it would not fit. Olympus have just announced a 70-300 lens themselves but it will be approx £100 more than the APO Sigma 70-300.
