I would choose EF 500 4.5L over Sigma 500 4.5.. Most of my EOS collection is from the "film era" and they work just fine, sometimes better than my newer L glass. Though much shorter FL than the 500 4.5, there's nothing wrong with using them. They were built to last and many of the "lower-end" film era lenses are optically superior to Canon's latest consumer offerings, see the original 28-70 f3.5-4.5 kit lens from 1987, whose MTF chart is only bested by the 28-70L and just barely. 5D / 400d / 70-200-4LIS / 50 Mk.I / 28-70
