Doing some research I found such a lens for 600 euros, that's £419

I have to check what type of lens it is (AF or manual)
But I'd like to get some advice: it is fair, expensive, or a steal?

Since they aren't many around....

Thanks

Sounds expensive to me, unless it was an EX series, and had a large (f/2.8 ) aperture, or gave 1:1 macro magnification.

But I doubt it's any of these.

...although just seen that Sigma did a 70-210mm f/2.8 AF lens in the early 1990s, so it may well be one of these.

Just bear in mind the weight!

yep that's a 2.8 and I guess this is the one you pointed out, I had seen the website but wasn't sure.

Oh well I guess, I'll wait for a light 50-135mm
one day!
