Sigma AF 70-200mm f/2.8 EX OS HSM (FX) - Review / Test Report

Yep, I got the latest one. APO EX DG OS. Could just be a case of "the grass is greener on the other side," but I guess that I'm just saying that the Pentax is leaving a remarkable first impression on me.

The edges on FF at each end of its range is where I'm expecting it to eat the Sigma....will have to wait to see.
