Very helpful test. Amazing! Even though I can never afford one, I can dream, can't I? :) Proud to be a Filipino!

thanks for the comparison with the Sigmonster. Most of my Canon shooting buddies can't believe my Sigma 120-300mm EX F2.8 takes pictures rivaling the Canon 300mm F2.8 L lens but with the added versatility of zoom. Question: how far were you from the 10 dollar bill for these tests. It would be interesting to see how these lenses compare where the bill is 200 feet away. And why no Pesos! Mabuy from the U.S.A. ......
