ARGHGH!! OK will get some shots up tommorrow to show it.

Its the development cost of generating the product and pushing the technology to make your product better than what goes before and the competition. This is the main cost. the actual production cost is very low, always has been for mass produced cameras like that. Like with ANYTHING, you...

No its defanatly in the lens, it shows up exactly the same on both digi bodies. Its not in focus, and you can see it clear as day on any blank surface or against sky :( You can see the dirt thru the viewfinder in the same place aswell lol. Will get some pics up tommorrow evening to show...

Picked up a used lens from a reputable used gear retailer a few weeks ago, it arrived just in time for a holiday, the only time I had to test it was literally mount it up and check it talked to the bodies, took a few shots, was happy that it focussed right, so packed it and off I went. As...

I tried a strange one at a gig, and now I'm engaged to it!

same here, not quite got my head around it. merely turning the lens around and holding it infront of cam (for me) they never focus, can't get them to focus on anything at any distance (100m down to touching front element :???:)

Well on the sales front they usually don't know anything more than whats on the box. But in terms of warrenty claims, they'll be spot on. Unlike a cam shop who would scrupilise and argue over every last thing (even though it doesn't come from their pocket) they just say 'yeah OK' and fill in...

To me, I like the build & handling of the sigma, but sheer number of soft copies, out of centre (one corner intrudes into the frame all the time), focus motor problems (and lack of replacement by distributor/sigma) puts me off. I want the 10-22, similar build quality, more accurate, less...

its an expensive country/economy to run! Don't like it, move somewhere else :p

mmmm, I'm thinking the china & japan ones have different focus motors, as some people find them OK/livable not really a problem, whilst others like mine is like a Makita drill thats been used in the oilsands for more than a day!

Used to use it, no longer, account was hacked, money removed from my bank account, sent it overdrawn, important direct debits didn't go out (mortgage, phone, insurance etc), all hell broke loose. Never again. Wouldn't go near paypal with a 84' pole.

Live in a remote, camerashopless part of the world. I need to order some lightseal material for a few film camera bodies. I don't think its worth sending them away to get done, the cost of postage alone would outview the bodies values. Is it possible to order a roll of the stuff from...

At like 5mins to midnight ordered some Kood filter bits from their website as they were the only ones that appeared to have it all in stock. Anyway, stuff turned up on their free delivery service yesterday morning, the filter holder I ordered was maybe out of stock, so they bunged a higher...

actually your £44 is better than some! Beware in future insurance *may* be more expensive after a claim, so you've got to weight up, is it worth bothering for £44? canon 50mm f1.8 are about £75-80 new I think so I would just bite it and buy a fresh one, or maybe use the opportunity to go for...

On nikon crop, tokina or sigma 12-24. Much sharper & better built than the 10-20. For outright wide-ness the 10-20 or tamron 10-24 would win, but on nikon the 1.5x multiplier makes it no so bad, its 15mm equiv (but often soft) vs. 18mm equiv (but so sharp you need gloves to handle it)
