[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 438073, member: 9240"] Production on anything that expensive is usually done on an as-needed basis trying to match demand. I suspect that the new 150-600mm Sport has but a crimp in demand for this one. That said, it's an outstanding lens, albeit one that I do not possess. My brother has one (Canon shooter) and is absolutely in love with it. He's a pro news photographer and it's his go-to sports lens along with a Canon 300mm f2.8. He endured some issues with the autofocus with his EOS 1D Mk IV, but never went elsewhere because of how great it is. He detailed the entire experience, including resolution and improvements since here... [url=http://sigma120to300sportssaga.blogspot.com/]Saga of the Sigma 120-300 "Sports"[/url] And btw, it's not showing as Out Of Stock at Adorama - at least not for me. As for other lenses, I'm hearing only great things about the new 300mm f4, though I wonder how it'll do with a 1.7-2X TC in anything other than daylight conditions. You would want to go with the f2.8 but that's obviously out of budget. [/QUOTE]
