I've certainly got to take my hat of to Sigma on this one, a real shout of confidence to say yep, we can match Tamron and the old Canon 100-400 alternative but hey, wait, look at the even better version we have !
Also announced was a 18-300mm for APS-C and two new extenders

Let's hope the C version is good enough :-\
The specs are identical except for an extra FLD element in the Sports version. Both lenses even about the same size. I really wonder how much better the Sport is than the Contemp?? Usually when you see "entry" level vs high-end ... you get more than just an extra element. Both are weather sealed. One has a tougher body... But the same aperture range. Love Sigma, but this has me scratching my head a bit. The Sport version better have amazingly better optics otherwise I don't understand this from a business perspective. Wonder why they didn't leave off weather sealing at least on the entry level to add some more distinction. Can't wait to see reviews and comparisons!

I guess to clarify - I think we are all so accustomed to seeing the upgrade/pro version of a lens to jump from 5-6.3 to a max ap of a constant 5.6. Or 4-5.6. Some sort of increased light gathering ability.

The German Sigma site suggests were may be looking at about $1500 and $2800 USD ... I think it was 2099 Euros for the Sport version and I thought I saw 1100 Euros for contemporary, so just using current convernsions

Thanks...I might almost consider the S....I generally would not buy a lens of this FL...but I will def. wait for the reviews and let the lens "settle in"...All Sigmas have had their issues...I have the 35mm and 50mm Art lenses...and they have their issues (my first copy of the 50mm went back because of focus issues..and my 35mm needed some substantial tweeking on the Lens Dock)....but I really love them......hope these lenses are exciting and functional.
