Ah, excellent. I almost always use my 70-300 and 9-18. But the Sigma would be great too!

Currently on my wishlist:
50 macro
50-200 (or Sigma 50-500)
Sigma 105 or 150.

Yeah I also considered the 50-500 because sometimes my 300 milimeters are really not enough, but it's quite heavy and not very bright. Besides sigma lenses often have compatibility problems on four thirds cameras, I also had to resend my 150 because of an autofocus defect. Meanwhile I've read lots of reviews of people who had similiar issues. That's why I prefer original Olympus optics, but unfortunately they don't have anything above 300mm.

Yes, that´s the reason I´m rather leery of anything Sigma. Autofocus and quality control issues scare me off. I have seen some great pictures from the Bigma, though. I´m mostly set on the Olympus 50-200, because I know it´s a really nice, sharp lens, and it works well with a teleconverter, for extra reach.

Ooh, you´re making me jealous. I have to wait until this next summer, when I´m back in the States...
