Now my question is will I see a big diffrence in the two lenses or would I be better off keeping the Sigma and sending my money on other things? I shoot alot of sports and I have read that the Canon AF motor is faster but by how much??

Either spend the money on something else you want, or else save till you can afford at least a used 70-200 2.8 IS. 6D|7D| Sigma 50mm 1.4 EX| Canon 100mm L IS macro| Canon 24-70 II L| Canon MP-E 65| 600 EX-RT| MT-24EX

More info | Mar 05, 2011 01:59 | #8 The sig with the sig 1.4 tc gets pretty soft, no where as good as the canon with a 1.4 or even the 2x tc. So if you are considering a tc for you sport shooting, the canon is the better option with or without the IS. Traveling is my passion, so I am a major Frequent Flyer.

Or a 200 2.8 would be simpler and w/o a TC, faster focus for sports. multidisciplinary visual guy, professor of visual art, irresponsible and salty.

Yes, it is, but you don't get the 135 f/2.0L. X-Pro1 + 18-55 f/2.8-4 OIS + 55-200 f/3.8-4.5 OIS
