I use Canon and love Canon. However Canon lenses are pretty steep price wise. I haven't used a Sigma lense but did price them....some are more than half what a Canon lense costs. I do have a Tamron lense that I have been unhappy with and am afraid to try another "compatible" lense. My question to the experts is......would Sigma still give great quality/performance or should I be patient and hold out for the Canon lenses. I'm looking into getting a 70-200mm 2.8 ($699 Sigma - $1199 Canon) and a 24-70mm 2.8 lense ($299 Sigma - $1099 Canon).
Any thoughts?
Thanks ahead of time for your help,
Sean

On a side note....any Canon users use the extended battery grip for the D30/60 etc..? Is it a more of a help or a hinderance?
