The Product ID nomenclature is an unverified guess so far (thanks to Maxim from Sigmamuseum.com for that hint). According to its initial product announcement the lens came with a 17 elements in 13 groups formula, but the Lens Charts do list a 17 elements in 14 groups formula during 2000 until 2004, adding ID 786 as a piece of information in 2004, while ID 785 can be accepted as verified by Ebay listings.
