The other option i looked at is the Sigma 300mm f2.8. What do people think of that lens?
Hi Ollie, I had a 300mm f/4 AF-S lens, I wish I kept it! it was a great lens fantastic IQ and superfast AF, if you can go to the AF-S version it would be perfect on the D50 which I had it mated to. Not sure about the non AF-S versions, may be a little slow autofocusing on the D50?

Cheers
