Yet another addition to its digital optimized DG range of zoom lenses announced this week is the Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG/HSM.

Fast maximum aperture telephoto lens optimised for digital SLR cameras.

High optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range.

The lens can be used with the 1.4x EX or 2.0x EX Apo Tele Converters (optional), becoming a 98-280mm F4 Autofocus telephoto zoom lens or a 140-400mm F5.6 Autofocus telephoto zoom lens respectively.
