1. Sigma 150 OS is not available. We all hope it will be (along the SD1) before the year's end....
2. My assumption that the Sigma will be the more versatile lens due to faster aperture and stabilization but the Tamron will still have an edge WRT insect photography as it has 5cm greater WD.
3. A personal note: For a long time I've waited for the 150/2.8 OS but I got frustrated by the time it takes them to release it so I got the 100/2.8 IS. As I don't shoot a lot of insects it's actually a better lens as it's smaller and lighter.
4. What is your current gear? Why is it not satisfactory? What will you be using the lens for?
