This lens rocks and is on par with the non-IS canon L. If you have lots of extra doe get the canon 70-200 2.8 IS L, if not the sigma is great in every way. 60D, Canon 18-135 IS, Sigma 10-20 hsm, 24-70 2.8 hsm, 70-200 2.8 hsm, 430EX II, and all the other stuff that goes along with it.

One and three seem to be identical. If the 1st and 3rd are the same, they must be from separate years and batches since their manufacturing part numbers are different. My suspicion is that the first one (the cheap one) is appearing with the price of "psjan" discount, but I would wait until tomorrow and call them up to be certain. 5D Mk II|1N|28-300L|35L|85L II|

I'm going to get one by the way. My web site: http://kaitcilla.smugmug.com/

I ordered mine and it was shipped yesterday. There was another POTNer from Los Angeles who also just ordered. I guess we beat the deadline if it expires today.

Wife would not approve for Canon IS, but she said go ahead for this one.
