Auto focusing issue affects limited number of Sigma telezoom lenses After thorough investigation, we have ascertained that some APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM, APO 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM and APO 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lenses, produced recently, may have a potential autofocus defect. That may mean a much 'later' lens. EXIF information can already record the lens serial number if the lens info is passed to the camera body, which isn't the case except in recent lenses, and even then a Canon lens on a Canon body. A Sigma lens might not ever pass the necessary info to the body.

There were four versions of that lens with differing finish on the outside surfaces. I not that the recovered lens has 7-digits while the OP's lens has 8-digits. That may mean a much 'later' lens.
