Welcome aboard!

Seems I haven't used this bad boy in a while. Broke it out again, and love was reborn...

Many thanks! Took about 2K shots using a lot of lenses on a weekend vacation, but for some reason have really high percentage of winners with this Sigma...

Well done!
But I'm a little disappointed with the result. The lens provides a stable misses on the MDF.
I made an amendment to the AF Microadjustment 15, was better but now misses to infinity. For someone such things happen? The lens is selected from the 5 pieces!
Sorry for my english)

Sigma's wider lenses are often very inaccurate and have to be calibrated by sigma. I had to send my 24mm and 50mm to sigma (with my camera body) for calibration. It was free. Where I live (Taiwan), my camera shop takes care of everything for me.

pkilla - The problem with this lens when shooting at low light is that it doesn't lock focus in very low light, where my Sigma 50mm F1.4 does without any real problems.
