I haven't compared with the Tamron and the Sigma and neither am I a macro person... but the 200 f4D is exceptionally well corrected for CA... second only to the 200 f/2 (@f/2)... but you'd expect that from a slow lens. I was almost about to pick one up as a more portable 200 to use alongside the f/2.

Well, I have to rectify my post. The 200mm f4 is good, just heavy and dog slow in AF. What makes it stand out is the contrast. And that is worth a lot.
