[QUOTE="Chili, post: 1238198, member: 29892"] I was in your position a few years back, I had saved enough for the Canon 70-200 f4 or the Sigma 70-200 f2.8, I could not afford or justify the expense of the Canon 70-200 f2.8 at that time. My choice was the Sigma and I was thrilled with the results for two seasons until it died on me. It turned out to be a small chip in the Lens that died Sigma Assured me it would be a quick and easy fix. After several excuses that they could not get the correct chip for my version they finally relented and replaced it with a brand new lens under warranty. I had already replaced the lens with a Canon almost imediately after it failed as I had a race to shoot and didn't want to do it with a 24-70 as my only lens. I've had plenty of folks talk to me about the superior focusing speed of the Canon and to be honest I never really noticed much difference on my 20D's, I never did do a back to back test on the Pro series bodies though. My thoughts are given that the Sigma's come with a 10 Year warranty in Canada (not sure on US warranty) if I did not need to rely on the lens to make a living I would buy it, or if I was in a bind and really wanted a f2.8 lens over the Canon f4. Pics in this thread would have been with the Orignal Digital Rebel (300D) and the Sigma 70-200 f2.8.
