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.

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).

I agree. Too similar a focal length. Why do they keep putting out DC lenses instead of DG which will work on more bodies? Buying a DC lens is throwing money away.

Not if you never plan to go FF.

Jojo. This lens or the Toki 50-135?

Sigma APO 50-150 mm F2.8 EX DC HSM

I've been keeping my eyes open for more info on this lens after seeing a post here a few weeks ago. I found this link today, but no price listing:

http://www.dpreview.com …06081101sigma50-150dc.asp

I don't see anything on Sigma USA's web site, though, which seems a bit unusual?

Hmm. How the heck did I miss that post...

So it looks like it'll probably be sub-US$700.

Hmmm - there are so many nice little goodies out there - but I feel this competes too closely with the 70-200 range.

I wish it were a DG lens. Then it would have been perfect.

Good focal length, 50% lighter than the 70-200, and slightly better focusing distance. What I don't like about these longer lenses is you cant focus on anything within 5 feet (70-200), but this one looks better at 1:5.8 magnification, whereas the 70-200 is 1:7.8. Too bad its a DC lens, wasted it.

Now if there was even a 50-135 f2 lens out there, that would be something worth talking about.

If I were getting one of the two, it'd be the EX. More range...and it has HSM/FTM.

On a crop body, the new EX is definitely serious competition. They are about the same weight (710g v 770g), but we're talking f2.8 with the EX.

I'm fairly confident this one does not extend while zooming.
