I'm looking forward to some real testing of the Sony, Sigma, and both new and old versions of the Canon L lenses. So far, I haven't seen anything that looks like convincing testing, or even a plethora of user comparisons. Surprisingly big yawn this lens seems to be producing, along the lines of the newest Canon L version.
Yeah, they look like comparable lenses, but I don't see that as a bad thing; the newest Canon is quite good. This lenses look better at the wide end and quite a bit better in the corners at the wide end. The Canon may be a bit better at the long end and especially so in the centre, but my guess is that lens variation within each brand will swamp these differences between brands. I think it looks like a solid offering and I will probably pick one up for my wife who shoots AF. I will still watch as more reports come in, but I think it will be a solid lens and to me the smaller size and weight is worth the slightly higher price.
