Also, Sigma have a 70-200 f/2.8 which I've used side by side with my mates canon 70-200 f/2.8L and I honestly couldnt tell the difference in any way (physical, or image quality) apart from the fact that the sigma one was black and the canon L was white... at nearly $1000 less, I wonder... Whats in a name?
The sigma loses to the canon wide open at 2.8, but as you stop the sigma down the difference becomes less noticeable.

mind you thats being super super picky
