Default sigma 70-200 2.8 EX

I am contemplating whether to get this lens or not. I know that the optical quality is good and comparable to L lens. But I saw some reviews and some of them were saying that the f2.8 is 'unuseable'. I wonder whether its really that bad?
Anyone here has a sample photo from this lens at f2.8? (uneditted would be better)

TIA

you can't really see a lens sharpness when the picture is posted on interent. even the cheapest lens will look sharp.
