>From my own experience, f/2.8 produces wonderful portraits is used wisely. Do not shoot portraits wide open from close distances. I made one portrait of my wife at f/2.8 by Sigma 70-200/2.8 APO EX (by Minolta though) - fantastic results, however step back considerably (for this kind of lens 7-10m are good)

One wonders just how many saleable shots were actually taken at F2.8 on these lenses. I always found this aperture give too shallow a DOF for a face. You can get maybe the nose in focus...
