They have (or at least had) a Nikon mount Sigma 300-800 f5.6 zoom on the
ISS.

I class that as Nikon gear. I was thinking in terms of lens mounting
standards.

I was under the impression that most high-end Canon lenses contain
florite elements, and there is something about either the trip to orbit
or conditions in orbit that makes those fluorite elements less than
ideal.

Something to do with outgassing or thermal expansion or maybe the
launch stresses are too much for the soft glass?
