Hi Marco! A few points (open to anyone, of course):

1) How would I know if it is a Sigma APO lens, because it is nowhere 
written as such? 

2) I may be mistaken but I thought it was the Sigma 300mm f4.0 or the 
400mm f5.6 which were APO, not the 300mm f5.6. Comments, anyone? 

3) The Sigma-Z 300mm f5.6 I saw has an Olympus OM bayonet. Should I 
pass this one up and save for the Zuiko 300mm f4.5? Since the Zuiko 
would be three times more expensive, is it three times better?

4) Am I to understand that Nikon is selling rebadged Sigma lenses?

Thanks to all.
