Ok i'm confused.
I've been looking to purchase a Sigma 70-300 APO Macro lense for a while now, i have 2 companies in Hull that can do them.... here are the links:
http://www.hiltonphoto.co.uk/products/details/3271.html
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/29861/Show.html?SkuId=29861&tduid=2952db1212fda517343b69cc6536e24d&url=http://www.jessops.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?SkuId=29861
Can anyone tell me if there is any obvious difference here apart from the price. I can't see it myself but a fresh pair of eyes might help!?!
I was planning on buying the one from Hiltons because i dispise Jessops, but hey if its going to be the same lense for cheaper i may just have to bite my tongue on this one! 
HELP?

And i thought Hilton's were a decent place, i had alot of time for them! 
I might ring them to see if they'll price match! The guys in Jessops in Hull are so rude and don't have time for their customers

Yes that's what i'm looking to use mine for, but again i've sort of been looking over the winter period when there is no track sessions

Lens 
At over £50 cheaper i wouldnt really care how much of a nob the guys in the shop are! Track-day sessions are run pretty much all year round, we have just done Elvington Airfield and looking at doing Oulton Park end of Feb. Not sure when the proper race season starts again, it wont be too far away though.

So it would seem that if i buy from Hilton's in Hull i WILL be getting ripped off!
Hmm well i've spoke to Jessop's and got the lens saved for me to pick up on Saturday, so if Hilton's can't price match me, i'm biting my tongue.
Thanks guys
