But not the newest?
Tamron announced their SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC in February. So, if you don't need it tomorrow, my advice would be "wait and get something very exciting". BUT: honestly, I'm no expert for 70-200/2.8 zooms. Somehow I find them useless for me :mellow: No, "pointless" is the better word. For me it's often "not enough range", not short enough" "minimal distance too big" - so, my advice is really only getting something cool and new. Doesn't have to be the best for you.
Sigma should also announce a 70-200/2.8 as their current one is dated. But even if they do so: It will take a lot time form announcement to (your) market, it will not come with Arca-foot and will not be much better than the Tamron. After my experience with the 150-600 G2 I'd trust them to bring out a decent standard-zoom.
