Looks like something interesting is going on in the Sigma camp. Firstly, they've reorganised their lens lineup as follows:
- Contemporary ©: your standard zooms
- Art (A): Short / normal primes, wide angles, macros
- Sports (S): Telephoto and long zooms
All their lenses moving forward sport a rather handsome new design, along with a C/A/S badge on them to differentiate between.
The second change is that they seem to have acknowledged their Quality Control issues in the past, and are now offering software and a USB Dock to allow users to connect their lenses to their computers to perform calibration and fine tuning. So hopefully there will be less of "buying and hoping it's not a dud" and "returning copies until you find a keeper"...

Additionally, there are 3 new lenses being offered with the new badging, one in each of the respective categories above.
- 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM
- 35mm F1.4 DG HSM
- 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM
