Because that doesn't lead to lots of repeat business as users wouldn't have to keep buying new lenses.

I think you can find out from Sigma UK by the lens serial number if it is compatible with newer Canon DSLR. For example if I recall with the 135-400 the non compatible lens started with a 2 and the compatible started with a 3.

As a general of thumb any Sigma lens older than the Canon 300D is unlikely to work on the current Canon DSLR range.

Don't despair Christine. It won't work except fully open, but you can exchange it for a new Sigma at cost price; if its cheap enough it may be worth it
