Comments about Sigma 300-800mm f/5.6 EX DG APO HSM Lens for Olympus Digital Cameras:
I use this lens to grab full frame shots of wildlife as well as to shoot sports. It allows me to clearly see the location of a bird's ear as well as to shoot through nearby chainlink fence with little concern of quality loss.
It is a great surf photography lens. I am happy to trade the zoom range for any offset Canon's big glass has to offer. Very happy.
It weighs a lot. I regularly pack mine in half a mile and between it and a suitable tripod and head the setup weighs in near 15 Kilos. You can cancel your membership to the health club and spend the savings on a few visits to the Chiropractor.
