It's the sharpest among the four variant of 70-200mm.
not really a sharpness issue, example is if shooting a basketball game...which would be easier to get the most useable(less blur?) pictures?http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=404&Camera=9&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=103&CameraComp=9&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=2
Not sure if this link will paste correctly but http://www.the-digital-picture.com has a useful comparison function. it seems at the same focal length and f4, the 70-200 f4 is still sharper than the 2.8.

$ vs sharpness......the BIG Question...
Or is there a better 3rd lens like Tamron or Sigma with the same or better quality, and value for $?
Well it would work depending on the distance you are at but you would get pretty harsh and flat lighting. Also if you are talking aobut some sports, flash photography is not allowed
sorry to OT a little:
lets say if i were to get a 70-200 f/4L non-IS.. would it work well if i shoot indoors with my 430EXII(direct flash)?
