Sigma Japan just announced the suspension of orders for the following DC DN APS-C lenses:

• Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN
• Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN
• Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN
• Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN
• Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN
• Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN

So the entire APS-C lineup orders are on hold in Japan. I don’t know if this is valid for the rest of the world too, but for now they seem to be still available for order at stores like BHphoto.

The motivation they give is strange: the demand exceeds Sigma’s expectations.

So I wonder what happened. If all of a sudden demand for Sigma APS-C lenses rose strongly, or if maybe Sigma’s production capacity dropped for reasons we do not know.
