If Sigma can match the 70-200 f/4L in terms of IQ and 'good copies', this could be a serious contender. 80-240mm (equiv.) f/2.8 for a fraction of the weight of a real 70-200 f/2.8 zoom. Well you already have Sigma's 70-200 f/2.8 which is pretty damn good already. There isn't that big a difference between the Sigma and Canon. Go UCLA

But that's where the 70-200 would come back into play, one, if not the best zoom out there(with respect to all its features). Go UCLA

There isn't that big a difference between the Sigma and Canon. This lens will give a more accurate at least at the wide end, field of view of 70-200(if they were on full frame). Naah, despite my random lens buying madness recently, I will not be buying this one, precisely because of the reasons you said.

Aug 11, 2006 08:58 | #10 Looks like it'll go nicely with the 120-300. Now if they only had a good wide 2.8 zoom...

However, if I had a 30D instead (and none of my current collection of glass) I would be very interested. It will be good to have in the market though, that's what I'm saying.
