I got a chance to really put this lens to the test today. I think the colors and sharpness of this lens is just hard to beat.

Wow nice colors in that crazy image. How does your 200mm F/2.8 prime compare?

I've been debating whether to get a 70-200 F/2.8 zoom (probably the Sigma) or to get the 200mm prime and use it alongside with my 100 macro

A little more crisp but not much ... I like the 200 prime when it has to be razor sharp.
