Hi Steve. I also have the Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM. I fell it a bit too soft at 2.8. Actually, a little dissapointing. Don�t you fell the same?
It�s almost useless at 2.8 and only at f4 it�s starts to be ok. At f8 it�s the same as Canon�s. But at f2.8 one can not compare the Canon and the Sigma. Do you agree? Nelson ***************************************** Hi Alex, An added note regarding the construction, I did try this lens from my local camera shop. The only lens they had was the one on display and had been the demo for a long time. It focused a little noisy, kind of surprised me in that it was as noisy as the non HSM Sigma 28-70 2.8 I also readily felt the torque of the focusing. Had I gotten too spoiled by Canons lenses? Who wouldn't They are hard to beat, especially the Canon 70-200 2.8 HSM. So I decided to get the Sigma from B&H. At least, assuming their rate of product turn-over, it would have the latest software version that would work with the 7, not that I have a 7 but I do want the New EOS TI (what a great travel body). I was very pleased with this lens' operation, very quiet and smooth focusing, no jerking from torque in the focusing. It just makes me wonder, how long do I have before mine starts to operate like the demo model from my LCS. Until then, I couldn't be happier with the overall performance.
