It would have been a more interesting post if you detailed the use case for these lenses.

I've never felt the need for a 35-70 f2. What would you be doing with it? When you are asking for such a limited zoom range, do you want it as sharp as a bag of primes and do you know having the extra OS elements interferes with that objective?

Re a 70/1.8, why when there is a very good Tamron 85/1.8 VC?

I used two 100-300/4. First was quite good. Second was beaten by a sharp 70-200 with 1.4x TC. Personally I didn't think it was worthwhile compared to the versatility of a 70-200 with TC. It could be quite a lot of money to pay for a rather slow lens, though it's not bad for outdoor sports on a monopod. It's not that there's no market for it, it's just that it was a rather small market with a rather slim profit margin and Sigma gave up on it.

I've sometimes felt the need for a fast 35-105/2.8 OS for indoor portraiture and 35-135/2.8 for dance groups etc.
