Does anyone think Canon will compete with Sigma 120-300?

Since I have sent my Sig 120-300mm f/2.8 in for focus calibration I have a little time on my hands .

Just wondering if anyone thinks Canon will or should compete in this zoom range?

I love the qualities of the Sigma (sharp as he## where it focuses!), it's just hitting focus too far back, so I had to send it in for warranty work. I wish that Canon would have a (sub - $2500) option in their line-up as well. Anyone feel the same?

No, because I've got the Sigma

They've had a long time since tha Sigma 120-300 came out to cover something like that, but doesn't seem like they want to make one. I guess for fast supertele's, they prefer primes with IS.

My dream Canon glass would be a 70-300 2.8L Been told tho' its never going to happen

Tried the Sigma but didnt like it. Zoom ring in the "wrong" place and generally just found it too much hard work compared to the Canon 70-200 2.8L.

They won't do it. When Sigma launched the 120-300mm f/2.8 it more or less killed off the sales of their 300mm f/2.8 EX prime completely. I can't see Canon wanting to do the same damage to their 300mm f/4 and 300mm f/2.8 sales.

true, canon is a very good marketing company. which only means that it hurts us the worst.

nikon on the other hand is a very bad marketer.
