I got mine secondhand, which was the only way I could afford them.
If you are looking for a lens for life, them are the ones.

I ordered the Sigma 70-300mm APO Marco lens from the digital camera company-it arrived the next day. Only €230 Euro including carrying case and overnight DHL.
Looking forward to trying it out on the piggyback mount on my CGE 11 scope.
Thanks again everyone for all the advice.

Nice one John, I use that Sigma lens and have found it to be very versatile and good value. Looking forward to seeing your results.
