As a member of this discussion board, you will receive an email when it becomes available.

My apologies for the shortage over the last couple of months. My suppliers are slipping, which unfortunately means we are also slipping. I have recently decided not to give any dates in the future. When it is actually available, you will be notified because you are a member of this board.

In the meantime, please make these preparations:

1, we will not supply the lens electrical connector. You will have to find either a broken Sigma lens to extract its electrical connector, or order P/N 9270038 from your local Sigma service.

2, you may want to have me perform the installation. You would ship your lens to Canada, but before you do so, please check with your country's customs regulations to see if there is a problem shipping your lens back to you.

could i use a chip from a broken canon lens? because i have a bunch of them just laying there waiting. or must i use a sigma chip?

Well, it is not the chip we are after, it is only the lens connector. It is only a connector with no electronics in it.

But a Canon one wouldn't work, the screw hole positions are different and it won't fit.
