HSM
The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures an ultra-quiet, high-speed AF function as well as full-time manual focusing capability for Sigma, Canon, and Nikon mount lenses.

Practical Photography - November 2006
'The hypersonic motor focusing is great - really smooth, fast and quiet - and with a massive manual focus ring you can easily do it yourself too. It’s not like using a cheaper telephoto lens, you’ll be able to lock-on really quickly with the minimum of searching and virtually no audible sound at all.’ ‘If you need top level performance and long focal length then this is the lens for you.’
