Does it have any predecessors? The 70-300 and 100-300 lenses are in a different class, as is the Canon 100-400.
This seems like a fairly unique offering - better image quality and more reach than the 70-300 type lenses, but lighter and cheaper than the Canon 100-400, Nikon 80-400, and 150-600 lenses.
From the samples looks to be on par with the 150-600 lenses, though we'll see what the more detailed reviews say. Personally, even it sounds like a winner to me - a great walk-around telephoto and inexpensive upgrade to the 70-300. I'll stick with my 200-500 since I don't need this kind of lens, but I'm constantly talking to people who want a lens like this new Sigma.
But yeah, optically it looks good but nothing crazy extraordinary - can't retire the 400mm f2.8 lenses just yet...
