Really almost unbelievable that the Sigma could be that bad. Did he get
a lemon?

While I'm sure the Canon is significantly better than the Sigma, The
Landscaper has a tendency to fudge his tests to make a point. I'd look to a
serious reviewer before trusting anything on his site.

Bill, thanks for posting this as I am thinking about buying such a lens. I
find it hard to believe that the Sigma is that bad. I read the whole page
(including the quality control issue) and still find it puzzling. I'd
rather get the Sigma because I am worried about EF-S lenses rapidly
decreasing in value in the future (say two years). I now own one Sigma lens
and like it.
