You'll be lucky to find a 'cheap' Sigma. The cheapest I've seen a used one for was £480. The 80-400mm seems to go for about £400. You could pick up a 70-300m for no more than £250. > Don't really have the budget for L glass unless the exchange > rate sorts itself out any time soon.. yeah right. I know. They say patience is a virtue.
