Seems that Sigma slow down the production in favor of other better selling models.
Besides, at this moment one can find a canon (used) for way less than the Sigma, which is hard to find used btw - yes, I have been looking for one, as I have already the 24-105L but need a second lens in that range.
I know that the canon 24-70mkII is far superior, but the 105mm really makes a difference for me as a walk-around lens.
I read several reviews regarding the sigma, and overall opinion is that the IQ has better than the Canon counterpart. However, has too a bit of an unreliable AF and questionable QC. Together with its higher price, is IMO what kills the attraction factor for canon users.
That's why I have struggling with buying it new, and now with a rumor about a new L zoom coming - could be indeed a 24-105mkII, I almost sure that will put a stop in my intentions regarding buying this lens.
Wish the price was less aggressive for a Canon mount....but now I am really rooting for a 24-105mkII ;D
