Eugene Powers: Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 OS is very sharp without stopping down.
As far as weather sealing and focus limit a $3 plastic sleeve will do. Certainly better than Canon $1000 option for weather sealing. And I don't want to be focus limited while I forgot to switch it back. Happened to me and I missed the shot because lens would not focus. Sigma lens focuses very fast without focus limiting switch.
You are both wrong on all counts especially Karl Gnter Wnsch who is a known Sigma hater because he had problem long time ago with 2 Sigma flashes and he so upset that he would not buy any Sigma. Yeah right, what a Du Blödmann.
I tested this Sigma against new Canon MK2 and it just the same in sharpness and focus speed. And it has for sure 4 stops OS or better. And that is why in my opinion Canon mk2 is waste of money. Those rich ba$tards can jump up and down as much as they want but $1000 differences can buy another good lens. In my case it went towards 120-300mm OS which is even more expensive than Canon 70-200mm and better (sharper) than Canon 300mm F2.8.
As far as weather sealing, plastic sleeve works for sure if it is on. Weather sealing is a very questionable feature. They say cameras are sealed but there are very many reports that camera got wet in the rain. So I would rather use $3 sleeve that can also protect my flash.

Eugene Powers: Sigma is not going to be $1150. more like $799-899 Canon is $999.
And Sigma would be better. Hell, old 150mm is sharper than Canon 100mm L
I have them both. Both new Sigmas are going to wipe .....with Canon.
You are full of it. Not only I have both and both will go now on Ebay so I can get new OS but numerous reports/tests substantiate that Sigma is better than Canon.

Why bother to install TC $250 then 150mm would be about the same price?
Also, DP says available. Where?
They said 120-300mm available a month after it was actually in my hands and I was not the first.
Is it a lame attempt to be first?
The actual price in the stores is going to be more like $799
Love sushi. Never seen other colors of roe before but red and black.
