The lens I WILL get soon....is the 135F2.0L....I used it and was totally blown away.

ateet Senior Member 271 posts Joined Jul 2011 More info | Jan 16, 2012 22:27 | #18 I had dilemma regarding f/2.8 IS II and f/4 IS (I wanted IS so f/4 without IS was not even a consideration) I am just into photography and learning a lot since last year with using 60D. I went ahead with f/4 IS since A) It's light in weight to carry when moving around with kids, B) It's light on my wallet to convince my wife and C) I am still learning, the most important point.

Just an amazing lens that I'm sure you wont be disappointed in.....But like you I want a sigma f2.8 OS as well. For now I just can't bring myself to sell the Canon f4 IS to fund the purchase Well im thinking ill hang on to the f/4 for a while and see how it works out, if i find that i start needing that extra stop of speed then in a year the f/4 is probubly going to be worth exactly what i got it for (Because of the rebates/inflation/etc) But otherwise i can enjoy simply having a fantastic sharp lens that im sure ill still find use for and take thousands of pics with before then, and if i find i dont care about f/2.8 well heck! i get to carry around a substantally smaller and lighter lens....
