A new lens for me. Sigma 70-200 f2.8 OS..

that makes it official - you talked about the 70-200 f/2.8 OS having a smoother bokeh then the 70-200 f/4.0 L IS USM

I just wanted to point out that it's surely worse then the 135 f/2.0 and that puts in in perspective.

I see basically three aspects in tele lenses

1. Tavel - a good balance between weight, optical performance and size is the target
2. Artistically photography - bokeh bokeh and bokeh
3. Sports - speed, speed and speed, optical performance and weight

The Sigma lenses fit (for me) nowhere in these segments (only as a compromise) - sorry! None of the Sigma lenses has the AF performance and sharpness of the Canon pendants - good quality for the money but not the same level.(when I rent the Sigma sport 120-300 in 2013 I will also test it against the 135 f/2.0 at 135 mm - and then we'll see how good the bokeh renders)
If you start being more open to photography not limiting yourself to family members with a new career in photographing other women in nice cars give me a sign - I might be able to give you some 1st hand tips for good (german) cars (which hold their price as good as certain band lenses)
