Baddrummerboyy Senior Member 501 posts Joined Oct 2006 More info | No problem with mine. VERY VERY Sharp. I used a Canon 24-70 2.8L at the stored with my camera. Compare the sharpest to my sigma. Not to much of a difference. The contrast on the 24-70L was better tho, but sharpness is about the same. Current: Canon 40D w/BG-E2N, Canon 30D, Canon 10-22mm, Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS w/EW-83J, Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS, Canon 580EX II, Crumpler 6 Million Bag, and B+W MRC on all my glass.
