Hello I mainly shoot Motorsports and have seen the Sigma advertised for almost half the price of the Canon .
Have any of you had any experience of the Sigma lens and how would you rate it against the Canon equivelant .
Thanks

It may be a hair slower, but the Sigma is still extremely fast. I totally agree with themadman. -Michael
