I'm wondering when the review for the new Sigma 70-200 OS is coming, especially for Nikon Dx <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Not too soon, I'm afraid. Our review unit is decentered and currently on its third trip to Sigma Service in Germany. See also this thread:

I'm very curious to find out how affected this lens is by focus breathing and where does it place itself between the Nikon 70-200 VR1 and VR2.

Very close to the Nikon 70-200 VR II.
Max. Magnification at MFD of 70-200 VR II: 1:8.33
Max. Magnification at MFD of 70-200 OS: 1:8
