Im already reading but havent found a comparison in terms of AF speed, I read some people complaining about the "micro USM" in the Canon,just wanted to know if the Sigma had the edge on that matter.Thanks for your comparison.Would you consider it for indoor action shots give that you are close to your subject?Dont get me wrong I want this lens for portraits,but if I can use it for something else then thats a plus.
