Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens

$760.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i'd rather have it heavy -- lots of glass, no cheap construction here.

so if you need a fast, durable and optically sound bit of glass, but cannot justify the nikkor option, this is the lens for you.
from www.amazon.com
the tripod mount is durable and cleverly designed.
from www.amazon.com
construction and image quality is great, but the auto focus is not fast enough for sports, especially for tracking.
