Well, the existence of the Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 suggests that they haven't always had that view...I don't think Sigma are that interested in the top-end of the market, price wise....

On the other hand, I recall about 3 or 4 years ago I was talking to a Sigma ambassador who was a big wildlife guy - can't remember his name, unfortunately. He was convinced that they should make a 200-600mm f/4, which clearly wouldn't be a cheap lens by any stretch of the imagination, but he said that Sigma HQ in Japan were too conservative to make anything like that. So obviously their corporate priorities do change over time.
I would like them to offer something new and shorter than a 150-600 possible a new 50-500 or 120-400.
It's a 24-35 f/2, just had the email.
Has it? Ignore me, I really fancy one of these though and didn't know anything about it!Thats been out ages
stuartI doubt it. What could they do with a 135mm prime that would be a "world first"? It would have to be faster than f/1.4, and it would be stupidly big and heavy. Here's what a 135/1.4 looks like...

Oh well...That link indicates a DC lens, which is for crop sensors only, not full frame, before anyone gets too excited!
50-100mm f1.8 APS-C lens???? Golly Gosh! If true...

50-100 would be perfect for me if FF. Link does suggest crop however.
