This is not true. I have the Sigma and also had the Canon and ran tests. One of the few times I ever did this. At 30x40 inch projections the Sigma at F2.8 was as good as the Canon and better at 200mm F2.8. Maybe you have Canon envy, but I do not. The Sigma is wonderful and I would put it up ag

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
