A Bessel one arrived today, it does indeed take a brolly, so I can get for of an extra tilthead now. Cheers all for your help.

legend - i searched ebay for every term, apart from that! cheers dude....

Hi guys. I'm after a "S" type bayonet hostshoe adapter To save me explaining, it should be like this, but in the UK: http://www.cheetahstand.com/servlet/the-129/Cheetah-Speed-Pro-Bracket/Detail Anyone know where I can get hold of one. I'm trying to consolidate some of my strobist...

Yeah - if i send it to them they'll quote me for the repair.

Hmmm, sounds interesting.. Where did I put those little screw drivers?

Thanks for the advice guys, will get on the buzzer to Sigma tomorrow. I will get this fixed, then think about chopping it in for the Nikkor version after making sure it works :)

Has anyone had an auto focus failure on their Sigma before? I've got a 70-200 f2.8, and yesterday when in use, it stopped auto focusing. I was at a rally, and was not bothered about properly looking into it, but when I got it home noticed it was making a whirring sound when trying to auto...

It's about time they started again... maybe when they really fudge it up!

Nikon do confuse me - just go on price :0)

Cheers for the help guys. After a little reseach it appears one is a Aspherical, the other isnt.. maybe.

Excuse my naivety, but what's the difference between the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG Macro and the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG DF? I'm watching some on eBay, just need to know which one is the better price for what you're getting!? Cheers.

Cheers for the comments guys - any other suggestions?

Stonking advice, cheers... State of flux would be bang on. Unfortunately I couldn't justify the Nikkor's price. You're bang on, I don't need zoom, I will ditch it until i do. Then i'll rent.... If people are saying the 24-70 macro are sharp, then I might consider it again.

Is yours the macro version? It might not be, I might just be making it up...

Hmmm, it seems the cheapest 24-70's are the Macro ones, probably a bit too soft for an all rounder. I'll have to consider the 28-70mm f/2.8 by Sigma then.... Opinions?
