The Sigma scored 10 (points?) higher sharpness than the Canon on DXOMARK (that was center sharpness only I think, the Siggy is worse on the corners). Does anyone have any real world hands on comparison experience with these?

Can you comment/compare on focus speed and focus accuracy as well?

I suspect the L would be faster / more accurate on most bodies.... but on the R, everything is dead accurate

Im not a fan of the new version 2 24-105.....Crapola update.....that said I would choose it over sigma just for ability to screw on filters. I dont think sigma can screw on. I know the Tokina WA could not as well

Must be a myth - I have no issues with 82mm ND and CPL filters on the sigma!

Yeah I didnt know you could screw on a filter on the sigma. Have not used it other than slap it on 1 time at a camera store.

That being said, it's still worth mentioning that 77mm filters tend to be significantly cheaper than 82mm ones. In the same way, the position of the zoom ring on each lens could be a deciding factor in which one prefers. For that reason I went with the Sigma, and certainly have been satisfied with focus speed and accuracy on all bodies I've used it on so far (mostly a 70D and a 6D).
