Sigma 70-200 OS available from July 23 - Guest - 09-11-2010 I actually used the 70-200 OS on my 40D today and it is really, really good. Of course it is not as amazing as the new Canon mkII but for me the 500€ premium is just a bit too much. 2 100% crop pictures - no post processing, only converted from RAW with DPP. 40D - ISO100 - 1/1600 s - f/3.2 - 200 mm 40D - ISO100 - 1/3200 s - f/2.8 - 91 mm And one uncropped 40D - ISO100 - 1/400 s - f/2.8 - 137 mm Sigma 70-200 OS available from July 23 - miro - 09-14-2010 DP review has reviewed this lens.

Sigma 70-200 OS available from July 23 - mst - 09-14-2010 Interesting ... personally, I expected more from it. -- Markus Sigma 70-200 OS available from July 23 - Brightcolours - 09-14-2010 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1284471686' post='2742'] Interesting ... personally, I expected more from it. -- Markus [/quote] Well, the last version was a step back from the version before that... at least Sigma is making progress again in this segment. The 17-50 f2.8 OS HSM performs very well though, and the 8-16mm too... so yes, I too hoped for more. What I don't like is that it lost its "macro" ability, giving a max. magnification that is a LOT worse than before. And the zoom ring on the "wrong" spot. Lets see how the 85mm f1.4 will perform!

[/quote] That lens is not much sharper... but weather sealed and with a much better max. magnification factor.
