I had a "Bigma" (50-500mm Canon fit lens) which worked perfectly for years until I sold it second hand.

I wouldn't say it was cheap.  £3000 for it, a 15-30mm (can't remember if that was Canon or Sigma), and a Canon EOS10D.

I think at the time Canon didn't have anything with the specs of the Bigma.
