Mark, I think that Canon's domination of the pro market has more to do  
with investment in that market and the customer support than with the  
optical quality of the lenses. Another consideration: most pros shoot  
with long or longish lenses (certainly sports photographers,  
paparazzi, and probably also many ordinary news photographers) where  
Canon is quite OK. Their wide angles are where the problems are--I can  
attest to that as well.
