Hi Guys.

I find this site excellent for comparing just about any two lenses from a few 
lens vendors you like, although not completely exhaustive.

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=113&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=7&API=0&LensComp=683&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=5&APIComp=0

Just run your cursor over the image to swap between the two lens captures. The 
default is the left-hand lens, in this case the Canon, and the cursor on the 
image will bring up the compared lens, in this case the Sigma. You can check 
different apertures, different focal lengths (on the zooms) and if you go into 
the reviews section of the site, Brian gives some excellent advise on a pile of 
lenses, Canon in particular, since that is what he uses on a day to day basis.
