Cannot tell the difference between Canon and Sigma.,
I have both the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 and this lens. The version I received is as clear and sharp as the Canon 70-200mm version and ALOT less expensive! The bokeh is as good. When photographing a local high school senior session recently, I shot the Sigma and my associate shot with the Canon lens. We dumped all our images together and aside from style, you could not tell which images had been taken with which lens. The bodies were both 40Ds. I have to look at the metadata to tell which ones are which.
If you are making the decision about which lens to buy, try this lens out. With Amazon’s great customer service, if the lens doesn’t work out send it back. But I am pretty sure you will keep it. I would encourage you to try this lens out before dropping almost $1000 more for the Canon counterpart.

|Great lens…not a cheap alternative to the Nikon,
I was worried when I bouught this lens because I had only tried the Tamron copy, but my only experience with non-Nikon is with Sigma. I LOVE this lens. I got it for shooting sporting events for my university newspaper, and have had no problems in the month that I’ve had it. It autofocuses faster than the Tamron. A monopod isn’t necessary because it’s such a fast lens. Even at night with stadium lighting, the AF has little trouble.
The best thing I’ve heard for people wanting to shoot sports since buying this “cheap copy” lens came from a professional on the sidelines the firtst time I used my new lens. He said to my question about the Nikon 70-200mm, “Honestly, I turn the VR off when I’m not doing still portrait shots because it gets out of whack when I start following a moving person.”
Made me feel VERY content with my decision to buy the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8
