Sweet!! Are the refurbished pretty dependable? I would also like to get something in the 200 range. If I went that way I could have both for not much more than a new one.

The reviews I have read say the canon L is the better. I will read some more just to be sure. I am to the point I may rent both and see for myself. I know the side by side comparison I have saw the canon L definitely has a sharper image. Im sure I of all people could never tell the difference with my photos. LOL I know the glass is what makes the good pictures not the body.According to reviews the sigma 105 is the lens to go for
Just a heads up, if you're going to consider the Sigma, you might want to throw the Tokina 100mm 2.8 in as well. Check out the review of the Canon 100mm L vs the Tokina. The Tokina beats the Sigma, loses to the Canon.I am going with the canon 100L or 105 sigma to start. I really want something around 180 or 200 also but with the tank build going I gotta watch my spending. Thanks again guys for all the help. Hopefully I will be sharing some nice photos soon!!
Thanks I will look into that one also.Just a heads up, if you're going to consider the Sigma, you might want to throw the Tokina 100mm 2.8 in as well. Check out the review of the Canon 100mm L vs the Tokina. The Tokina beats the Sigma, loses to the Canon.
Check your lens/body combo on DXo mark as well. The link I have compares the Tokina, Nikon and Sigma.
Tokina is very affordable at the price point. Its new for $400. You could save that money and put it towards more corals. You'd be gaining from going to the Canon but is that marginal gain worth it or not is up to you.
*I forgot to induce this lens originally when I listed the lenses. I forgot it comes in the Canon mount as well.

I have the Tamron 90mm, Sigma 180mm and a TC 1.4
The sig gets used for fish pics quite often as you can sit further back from the tank and they are a little less spooked.
The TC is great on the 90mm it allows you to get that little bit more magnification to, I used the TC and 90mm for this pic
