Hello,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma at the moment trying to decide between the Canon 70-200 f/4L and the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8. Will be buying from Onestop Digital. The canon is £400, and the Sigma is £460. I've owned the the Sigma 70-300 DG previously and didn't get on with it too well - I found it soft and generally slow. Perhaps I had a bad example however.
I understand both are very nice sharp lenses. The Sigma comes with the tripod collar where as the Canon does not. I haven't used the Canon yet, but I had a chance to use the Sigma a few days ago and was very impressed with the quality and feel of the lens, the only thing putting me off is it's weight - is 1.27kg too heavy to use handheld?
Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice to try and help me make my mind up between the two. Which would you buy - and why?
Thanks
