Dang! I was hoping it would come in closer to the Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS, not the 70-200mm f/2.8 L v.1. They expect to get that much for a non-canon?

Good find. I just read about this lens this past week and was wondering how much it was going to be. And I agree; the price is outrageous. Unless it performs like Canon's Mark II version I don't see the reason for even getting this Sigma. A friend of mine who had several Sigma lenses had focusing problems or other mechanical failures with them.

Canon L series FTW!

I have the latest Sigma version (non-OS) of the 70-200mm f/2.8 and love it. I keep thinking of trading up but I always end up saying why spend the bucks if I like what I have. Now if the OS version came in around 1100-1300 I might be tempted.
