I think it is not fair to gerealise based on the single known Canon
compatibility problem. Sigma gives information about this on their web site, it
affects a known range of cameras and Sigma offers a free upgrade for all lenses
where this is technically feasible. Not bad for customer service.
As far as I can see it is gone from their site.
