AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED - $1650 (John, Sep07 - ferrariGTR)
Tokina AT-X 828 (80-200) - $800 on ebay.sg?

No exact pricing on this lens, but I would assume that the Nikon sells for approx $1200 used and the Tokina around $700-800. So there is a significant difference, at least.

At any rate I should be receiving my Canon-mount Tokina AT-X 828 from my cousin fairly soon... I'll post test pictures once it arrives in Singapore via "Relative-Express" courier.

Sorry for side track a liitle bit. Is there anyway to solve the sigma coat peeling problem. If can, what's the price? Can gaffing solve this problem?

For example, Sigma lens with Gaffing and if the price is good. Then I will go for Sigma lens.

Not sure pal, guess you can do a search to find out. Gaffing works to a certain extent.
