hi, how does the Sigma 70-200mm HSM AF compared to the Sony 24-70mm SSM AF? HSM comparable to SSM?

Eric, yes, the Sigma's HSM is comparable to the Sony's SSM in terms of function. But I'm not too sure which is better in terms of performance though...

Great, thats a piece of gd news. I have a friend keep on saying Sigma HSM lens for A-mount do not have HSM function. Meaning it AF like a normal lens. Now at least i see user with this lens. So hows the IQ? Its a rare sight to see 2 Sigma 70-200mm HSM sideby side. haha.

Got lah, Sigma got produce HSM version lenses for Sony lah. I have a walking living proof of this in my hands. :D IQ of this lens is pretty good. No complains so far, given the price and features set.

bro, is it possible that the AF speed is faster due to the motor of A900/A700? Just wanna double confirm that it's really HSM. Or in other words, would a non-HSM sigma lens be considerably slower on A900? Thx in advance bro.

yktan9, my personal opinion is that HSM do not necessary mean faster AF. It does mean smoother and quieter focusing though. So the answer to your question (in my opinion) is that NO, a non-HSM do not necessarily focuses slower than a HSM equipped lens. However, I said not necessarily, doesn't mean a definite answer. And I think in the case of a 70-200 f2.8 lens, there may be some truth to this myth because this particular class of lens do have some seriously heavy glasses to move around during focusing, so a lens driven by a weak AF motor may be really slower than a HSM driven lens. No way to tell, but the logics do point towards that direction. :)
