Hi Brian. I have this lens.It's soft as you might expect. Can take reasonable photos especially if you stop it down. Found it very good with indoor people/party photos where the softness can be an advantage!

Tried it out today at Whipsnade, few JPG shots here on my Flicr,all unedited/unprocessed and taken on my K10d body, almost all bar a few on 300mm end of zoom, effectively about 450mm. I see what you mean about the softness, never the less good fun!

Don't be thinking that your lens is effectively anything other than it says on the lable, it's only the field of view that changes between sensors, not the zoom ratio.
If you stick to 200/250mm with it you might get better results as long range zooms often drop in sharpness towards either extreme.

Has anyone had experience of using this lens on a digital body: Sigma 28 - 300mm Hyperzoom, F3.5 - 6.3? Got one off Ebay today which by all accounts is virtually brand new. Trying it out at Whipsnade Zoo tomorrow. Autofocus seems to search a lot at long end of zoom on initial impressions out in my garden today, although light was an issue today, due to the weather
