i just ordered this for my Canon. was debating either canon or nikon mount but on my d200 the focal range would have been 220+

also ordered my first canon flashgun ( finally i can try and leave my nikon at home - BUt its SO HARD :P ) got the 580ex mk ii

if these new goodies don't make me fall for canon i will go back to nikon.

so let me get this straight. you´re ordering a SIGMA lens in order to find out if you fall for canon?^^

The focus speed on any telephoto macro lens is going to disappoint you.

Gratz on the 580EXII though :)

What I mean is that you can very easily look at a photo and come up with 7 different ways on how to light it similarly without knowing much about flash.

It is a great macro lens, maybe AF is a bit slower than canon's.. (not a problem for macro photo anyway) Just consider that SIGMA have announced the OS version, so maybe you will prefer to wait that one that can help you in normal use.
