I just picked up a sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro not even 2 weeks ago or so. have hardly gotten to use it very much and certainly did not use it very hard.
I was taking a few pictures the other day and suddenly noticed it wasn't focusing on things. I'd hear the click like it hit the stop inside but it wouldn't focus far enough in full mode or either of the other 2 modes. so i put it on manual focus and noticed that something is definitely broken inside. you can turn it either way and it'll get "stuck" at various points while turning the focus ring. won't let you pass a very short range in either direction. if you kind of give it a little nudge by turning it a little extra fast (doesn't take a lot, but enough), it will go past where it was stuck only to get stuck again in another small range.
i don't hear any loose parts inside or anything.
I bought it from B&H. Do i call them or sigma or what? anyone else have issues with this lens?
