hi all, I have sold a sigma 70-200 to get a canon 70-200 2.8 non IS and I love it, I'm really happy to lose the green tint I was seeing from the sigma and also increased sharpness. With that in mind I was about to buy another tonight for my 2nd camera operator.. HOWEVER.. I have just used a...

yep that is indeed one of the options

yeah I got a quote at £98.99. Have given the seller this thread link, plus the video and he's apologised. Says he uses it for manual focus video only and only took a few photos but never noticed. The ball is in his court but hopefully I'll get to own either this or another copy soon as I really...

sigma have said: Dear David, Sorry to hear you have an issue with your Sigma lens. From looking at the video it looks like a sensor may have failed causing the hunting. Please send the lens to the address below with a covering letter and a copy of the purchase receipt if in warranty...

Yeah have contacted sigma and awaiting a reply. Not really true about Ebay, you can always return with faulty goods, it's just the hassle of it all..

it was purchased used on ebay but had no faults mentioned in the description. I'll be using it for 80% video so it's not an issue on manual focus, however I love the 85mm focal length for photography too and took it to a kids party today to practise and it was a joke.. even when people froze and...

i think ive managed to make the video public if you can try again? I'm shooting with aperture priority, AF switched on. A mode that works perfectly with every one of my other 20+ lenses...

Damn.. Sorry, I cant work out how to make it public. I'll do it on a PC if I can, but basically hunting focus even if things are 7 or 8m away.. It doesn't do it all the time but I'm say 60 percent of the time. I take it this isn't normal??

Hi all, only tested for a minute or two and if things are more than about 7m away its ok, but is this normal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ducu7CHYw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

i love you both more than my own mother. thank you so much.

Hi all, I upgraded my 2nd 5dmkii body from 2.0.9 to 2.1.1 and now I can't activate the liveview in any mode. im a videographer so this is essential for me. I've tried reinstalling 2.1.1 but same outcome. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi all, Im about to buy a sigma 28mm 1.8 lens. I have got the canon 28mm 1.8 but would like the sigma for a 2nd shooter as it also has macro ability. I'm slightly put off that it has a clutch focus, but then apparently so does the sigma 30mm 1.8 which I also own. It feels fine when Im...

thank you all so much, the flash was strobing because of the button on the side/front (that I never knew existed and still don't know what it does.. but I wish i could disable it!!) Thank you all very much

thank you all so much. Each time the flash did this I was hand holding without a strap, often had it down by my side so it makes perfect sense that I was pushing this button. I will have a play around tonight and see what happens. Wealthysoup, its a shame there's not a quick shortcut or a...

CT, thanks, you mean the on/off switch actually on the flash? I suppose I was after a way of it only firing when its needed, almost an auto flash mode, instead of firing never or all of the time. The 430exii does have hyper flash and it was something I was playing around with lately but...
