AP did a review on it years ago. I can scan it you want. The review was very positive. Unlike later 70-200/2.8's the focusing ring turns in the correct direction if that matters to you(it does to me). They were the forerunners of the EX series along with the 300/4 and 400/5.6 APO Tele Macro's.

There is a review of the Sigma HSM II version of this on dpreviewhere and of the Tamron here. According to these the Tamron wins on image quality.

Thanks John, email received. Bit old review(93') lol, but they test it properly. Still one questions remaining... Does it comes with PK bayonet? Coz in that review says Canon, Nikon only for AF, I found one on ebay with Sony bayonet, but no sign of it for PK.
Thanks again John

Hi, I think it may have but can't be sure. IIRC it was around when I bought my 300/4 APO in PKAF, it'll be as rare as hens teeth if you find one
I've just sent you another short review in HTML format from the early days at Photozone. The build will be the same quality as the Sigma 300/4 APO Tele Macro, very good
Best regards,
John
