Here are a few smaple pics..So what does everyone think.
Its in Mint condition and seems to be working well. I dont think its focus is as fast as my L..but its not much different and I got a great deal of $670 shipped
I like it
all these pics are full wide open at 2.8 and at f4 they seem to be as good as my L was at wide open f4

The Canon equivalent in $1,000 more!
This is an f/2.8 lens, not f/4.

It is a stellar lens for the money.
I've been using mine for fast pitch softall since last March.
You may have seen this pic before, this lens from Sigma is outstanding. I have no complaints.

Nice!...

Those are pretty sharp. I was afraid about the weight but it's pretty handholdable :)

I like the weight...feels good

I dont think I want a 2x...I am probably going to be getting the 1.4x though

I think you are mistaken http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …EY&addedTroughT​ype=search (external link)

You must be thinking of the IS version which is about $1000 more. :)
