I got this from Sigma:

>FYI:  From 9/01/99 to 8/30/00 we sold 201 400mm f/5.6 APO Telemacro lenses,
>in all mounts.  In the same period, we sold almost that many 135-400mm
>f/4.5-5.6 APO zooms for Canon AF alone (and Canon was not the most popular
>mount for that lens).  It was/would be hard to justify continuing production
>of the 400s.  It was a great lens, but not a great seller, after the zoom
>was introduced.  Yes, we'll service the teles for some years to come.
