Did you find the Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS that close to Canon's? Everything I've read about the thing claims that it's soft as hell wide open and nicks it for autofocus speed and accuracy compared to Canikon. Gorgeous looking lens with stellar build quality and a great price, though.

the sigma was not/is not as sharp as the canon - but it's damn close, at least my copy was damn close, I'd go as far as to say if I put up a photo shot at 2.8 - you and I as pixel peeping photographers might notice a difference, but the average client won't be able to tell... So in that case the sigma is "good enough" and when you consider that you can almost buy 2 sigmas for the price of one canon, unless you really need weather sealing or if you're printing murals the size of the side of a building, then get the canon, but the sigma will serve the needs of 90+% of the photographers out there......Show more →
Thanks for the response!
Have one shop here that wouldn't recommend the Sigma for anything, on any mount- I wouldn't be so critical if I were using the lens primarily for sports/action, but I'd be using it as my primary lens.
Still nice to see people with positive experiences with Sigma lenses. I stand ready to give them my business when they truly exceed Canon with a product that I can use .
