excellent review by David Cardinale - as sharp as Nikon/Canon, faster, and much less in cost:

And here is the DXO Mark testing results comparing the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 with Nikon's 300 f 2.8 AFS VRII.

To come that close in testing to the Nikon 300 f2.8AFS VRII is further confirmation of the IQ of Sigma's 120-300 f2.8 OS.
Does anyone know if it can use Nikon's (or Canon's) TC's?

No surprise here. I've got the Sigma 24-70/2.8 and the 150/2.8 macro and both are awesome tools with great image and build quality. :toast:
