Whoops! My bad. Wrong 1 and 2!

Anyway, as far as I know the differences were negligible, and perhaps a reason nobody cared enough to do a proper comparison.

I hesitated to post Bryan's review - as he's had nothing but horrible luck with Sigma lenses, but here it is for the version 2:

And his brief thoughts on #1, which was basically, sell it!

His biggest problems with Sigmas has always been focus consistency.

Of course it looks pretty good on the ISO charts:

For the record, I have the 70-200 f2.8 OS and love it.
