Thanks for the replies!



Unfortunately these lenses are for sale too far away for me to go to. So, they would send it to me, but that means that I am unable to test the lens.

You can just ask the owner/seller about its compatibility with Canon EOS DSLRs. They should know.

I do a lot of beach photography, which includes sunset, waves, reflection in the water or wet sand, storms, boats, etc, etc. Would you think that I will have too much problems with flare in my case?



Best wishes,

No, not at all. I have a lens that has the same or worse flare and veil "resistance", the Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L USM. You can use lenses like these fine, up to a certain point of course... in extremes veiling gets to be a lot (but that is not with sunsets... rather with direct bright sunlight into the lens).



The newest generation of lenses (like the new Nikon and Canon 70-200's) perform better, but do not underestimate lenses like the Sigma and my non-IS Canon.



I would be FINE with a Sigma 100-300 f4, with or without "DG" addition in its name.
