I am looking at that with the 70-200 2.8. At over a grand less, I think I can live with the slight differences in the Sigma over the Nikon. Would I like to have the Nikon? Sure, but $2,500 is a lot for me to pay for a lens, not matter how good it is. As for either side having to pay legal fees for the other, patent law does not include that. If Nikon wins, they will limit Sigma's ability to produce their lenses. Sigma won't be paying Nikon's legal fees. At least not in a US court. My nephew is a patent attorney and has worked many cases like this.</blockquote>
