I'm looking for the Sigma 50-150 2.8 OS lens. Specfically it is Sigma "APO 50-150mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM"

Sigma discontinued this lens, unknown why, but it's the perfect answer to a 70-200 for an APS-C camera such as my D7100. I can't find this lens anywhere, B&H, Adorama, nowhere, it's just no longer available. The reviews on this lens are amazing so I don't understand WHY Sigma discontinued it. I called Sigma, they told me they are not planning a replacement for this lens and their rep also told me they don't know why they discontinued this lens, which I find odd.

Any info on this lens such as WHY it was discontinued or WHERE I can find one would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate your reply, however the one listed in your link isn't the OS version, it's the older version and does not have the image stabilization. There were three versions of the Sigma 50-150 lens. The specific one I'm looking for is the APO 50-150 f2.8 EX DC OS HSM. From reviews I've read, not only does this version have the OS it also has better glass, is sharper and an overall better lens.

You may want to try eBay. This is what I have done with success (out of print sheet music) I did a search and when it came up with no matches I bookmarked the search and just ran it every few days until what I wanted came up. - Dave

Thanks for the link, but there was one listed and it's for Canon, I need one for Nikon. Also it must be the latest version of the lens, the one with the OS (Optical Stabilization). Specifically its the APO 50-150mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM lens for Nikon, with OS being the key factor... it not only has the stabilization, it also has better glass and much faster AF. I do appreciate your reply though.

Thank you, but those two are for Canon, unless I'm missing one for Nikon. I'm looking for that lens for a Nikon. D7100 to be exact.
