Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM lens is in the works
If becomes available in the market the new Sports series full-frame telephoto zoom lens will feature optical image stabilisation and a quiet “hypersonic” focus motor. HSM refers to the the Hyper Sonic Motor equivalent to Canon USM and Nikon SWM technology. The Hyper Sonic Motor tech on Sigma lenses deliver quick, smooth, and silent autofocusing.
The maximum aperture of the lens stands at f/2.8 throughout the focal range. Sure the lens will benefit from the image stabilization technology which reduces camera shakes in order to prevent photos from turning out blurry. The optic is an ideal choice for photographing many different subjects; birds, wild animals, airplanes, motorsports, and even portraits.
