hi dear Pz'ers,
i've read the review here (on a D200) and looked at a copy of this lens on a 7D - the review is very good - my check on the 7D may indicate it is ok (i'm not familiar with canon set up, so some of the settings were wrong and the slightly soft pictures maybe came from a too slow shutter speed, but apart from that the pictures were nice - ahem, don't take this too seriously dear canon but i couldn't do much post = you're a tad different for me at the moment . . . or, what you see is what you get!) -
question is - is anyone familiar enough with this lens to say it might look nice and sharp enough to do post on if i buy it for a 24mp a900 - or it might not make the grade on such a sensor?? - my grade (you can look see here on pz gallery)![[Image: rolleyes.gif]](https://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
ta - if i don't hear back, maybe i'll give b&h's returns policy a try![[Image: blink.gif]](https://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
. . . or maybe not . . .

What a difficult post to read!
Anyway, if I understand you correctly you are concerned with the Sigma 100-300 f/4 not being sharp enough for a full frame 24MP sensor? I would say that the lens is definitely sharp enough for such a sensor. I use it on my 50D with great results (the 50D has a larger pixel density -15MP but 1.6x sensor).
I absolutely love my 100-300. It has great IQ, takes a 1.4x and 2x TC very well. The f/4 provides decent shutter speed and good background seperation. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
