The K mount Tamron is apparently shipping now..
And Patrick, I believe the sigma lens does NOT use the HSM in K mount form, unlike the Cannon and Nikon mounts.

The Tamron's quite rare at this point (I don't know if it's even
shipped in K mount form yet). The Sigma's known to be a good performer
though.

Has anyone had the opportunity to work with and or compare the

Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 II HSM and the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8.

I'm thinking of getting one of them but i'm finding it hard to make a
decision based on the info I can find on-line.

It looks like the tamron is a bit better optically especially at the
200mm but the sigma seems to enjoy some advantages in respect of
faster AF, better handling and overall build quality.
