actually it’s already been announced by Sigma., perhaps your posting speeded things up?

it’s a great replacement for kit lens in “other-than-Canikon” systems – those with stabilized sensor. I think that’s why they decided to make an OS version – to better compete with biggest systems lenses.

sorry, I do not have more info – my guess is that the 17-70 will be APS-C

This is a fine lens even without the OS. I suspect it is one of Sigma’s bestsellers. There are tens of thousands of photos on photo-sharing sites taken with this lens.

Well, the old version is gone from Sigma’s german webpage (www.sigma-foto.de), neither the HSM nor the non-HSM lenses are listed. The HSM is still there on the US-site… Anyone wants to dig out some history on come-true rumors from the german Internet?

sigma 70-200mm F2.8 OS would be a very good contender
