The Tokina has a revised expected price of 12000/-

All reasonable offers would be entertained

I bought these used... and have not used them much, and thus the sale. Have been cleaned/serviced recently and function very well. Obvious signs of usage seen on both.

Sigma APO 100-300mm F4 EX
Very versatile indeed; can be used for holiday pics, safari, birding etc

Images of the lens and few taken with it recently (only been resized, no modifications done) are in this folder

Tokina SD 400mm f/5.6
Very capable manual focus lens; has a built-in hood too; very light for the focal length; expected purple fringing like lenses of that era

Lenses are in India
This could be a challenge... as I have not shipped overseas; unaware of costs involved. Best if a friend is visiting in either direction...

The Tokina: Expected price: 15000/- plus courier charges
The Sigma: Expected price 30000/- plus courier charge

Hi
I would like to hear as to how it performs; if I do get one (have found a potential seller) I plan to use it for bird photography.
If its performance is nearly equal to the DG version, it should be alright with a TC (which would be required) is what I have read on the net.
Also, would the non-DG sell for a very different price than the DG?
Would appreciate comments/thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

I am currently using the same lens, sometimes with the 1.7x handheld.
Decent performer.
Very tempting price you have offered it for
Best wishes!

Let us know how it feels - from instant gratification to wait and watch
