Wow, it seems some people hate an $800 lens competing and in some aspects outperforming a $1900 lens.
It is all too soon to call the ball based on basically the tests of a single guy and his lens.
The Sigma sure looks like a very good lens, if the AF is up to scratch I might get one myself.
That said, there are just as many if not many more who will grab any excuse to hit on the 85L, so that more or less evens out the odds.
My take on the Sigma is based on the real world samples that are now increasingly being shown, just like my take on the 85L2 is based on my real world experience and the abundant material available on the i-net.
Like some of the early tests by the same source the effort is to be commended, but the execution and method certainly leave room for discussion.

head over to POTN at the Lens sample section, lots of samples popping up, the flower shot and portraiture looks GREAT, quite a few night club shots with this lens over there as well. The AF accuracy, speed and consistency trumped the 85L according to user feedback over there....you coudn\'t get any more\"real world\" then most samples over there, I didn\'t see any test chart there either.....none that I can recall anyway.
