There is, as of yet, no pricing information on either model. In fact, the Sigma press release says that the weight of the Contemporary (less expensive) model is TBD. I find it odd that a lens has been formally announced and the manufacturer cannot tell us what it will weigh. (The weight of the Sports model is specified, and it is much heavier than the Tamron.) Perhaps these lenses are going to involve a very long wait before they actually appear. Yup. I would speculate that Sigma felt that they needed to get something out there to slow the Tamzooka's momentum, even if it's a ways off in the future.

Perhaps these lenses are going to involve a very long wait before they actually appear. I bet they are very quickly trying to remove every ounce possible to get close to the tamron weight. It seems the "C" model will directly compete with the Tamron while the "S" model will be an upgrade.

Very surprising and an excellent move! Yup! I love to see competition in good IQ, but economically-priced lenses.

I'm thinking the Sport model will be in fact better. Sport model I could see coming in at 2000 while the contemporary model could come in around 1300.
