Since they are so late with the FFF sensor, I think that an APS-C or APS-H Foveon camera with the SD body but an L-mount and an improved AF tech could be quite the stopgap for Sigma at the moment to maintain the attention high.

If sensibly priced, I'd buy one in an iffy

They don't have a stock of APS-C Foveon sensors, any more than they have a stock of FF sensors. And APS-C is out of fashion.

The world economy is in a very shaky state and I think Sigma, like everyone else, has to play safe. They may be able to justify getting a few thousand FF sensors made, if they can find anyone willing to make them.

The metalwork of a camera body is no problem for Sigma. Shutters are probably available.
