Back in October/November there was lots of anticipation re' this lens.......then it just seemed to fade away.
Was it actually released?
Did anyone on BF get one? (or know someone who knows someone who etc.)
 
David, I think the rumours were based on an image from a product presentation where somebody grabbed a shot of a screen which purported to contain details of a new 300 f2.8. I can't say that I have seen anything else since that suggests that its release is imminent

Are you getting it mixed up with the new/updated Sigma 120-300/2.8 ? The new model is released and is a S(sports) Model.

A new Sigma 300/2.8 prime has been muted by Sigma but no availability date or further specs yet - I doubt that anyone would be taking advanced orders yet!!

Sorry......I went in hospital for a "small operation" which went pearshaped so I missed this reply. You are (as usual) absolutely correct.......I was getting my wires crossed and was confusing 2 lenses. I now see the other threads which answer my question.
