Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 OS HSM Sport announced

[IMG_0001]

The announcement says it has a panning mode for the stabilizer. That alone seems like a big plus over the Tamron.

I never, ever, use panning mode on my 70-200/2.8. And I shoot thousands and thousands of panning shots. Mode 1 just works better for obvious reasons - it stabilizes in both directions instead of just one.

Well, I guess the mode 1 of the 70-200 2.8 is smarter than the one one my lenses and that you are much better at panning than I am (well, that won't be so hard)... To me mode 2 is certainly a nice to have.
