Rebel XT with Sigma lens???

[HPISavage]

Wow! If I am going to spend $200+ to make the Nikon lens fit, i might as well get a lens that was made to fit.
The main purpose for the lens is taking pics of the kids playing sports. I want to be able to zoom into them on the court and field and get some decent shots.
Any suggestions on a lens?

How much $$ you wanna spend? The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L USM IS is a top choice for Canon sports shooters but it runs around $1700. Sigma also makes a 70-200mm f/2.8 that is cheaper but I'm not sure how much. The folks in the sports photography forum could give you more recomendations. I'm sure it's already been discussed in that forum so with a little searching, I bet you could find a lot of info.

You can find the Sigma for around $650
