Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens

Just bought the most recent version of the Tamron 90mm for around this price. I'm used to that focal length as it replaced a 1990's version Tamron 90, but did give this Sigma a bit of consideration when shopping. Kind of agree that the price is not a low enough drop to make it worth it even if I was in the market now.

Definitely not good deal. This is normal price in most of eshops and sometimes in shops we could find much better price than 490 USD. I really don't understand Sigma marketing strategy in case of this lens. Premier price was higher than Canon 100 L 2.8 which is in every detail better than sigma: better af, better sharpness, much better build quality and overal picture. I compared face to face this lenses. Probably nobody who have in hand system 100 2.8 L lens bought this sigma for near 1k USD. Now in all shops there is price about 500$ and in my opinion still not worth for this lens, for me better is even old canon 100 2.8 (not L)
