[Veza]

Folks,

Need your opinion on this.
Is trading a mint 100mm macro comes genuine and hoya filter with a good copy sigmalux 50mm 1.4, a fair trade? Has anyone done it before?

if not, what is fair?
cheers

It should be a great trade. After all, they are the same value.

But then, it would be slightly harder to obtain a sharp copy of the Sigma.

Yes, that's what puts me off .
I guess yours is sharp

I have owned both lenses and I would have to agree that it's a fair trade.

Yeah, I went through quite a bit of them through the shelves at a local camera store and then without much luck just decided to get an used one off another POTN member, and that has worked out quite well for me

But then in terms of what they both sell for, they have the same value.

Only if the hood and tripod collar goes with the macro

thanks folks. That's why I'd like to trade it in this forum
only the hood, no collar ....genuine canon collar is a rip-off, can get a knock one for a tenth of the price.

Fair if you ask me.

[Jericobot]

As long as it's a sharp copy. Good luck

it's fair but you have to make sure you get sigma under warranty if you are buying one.

The warranty only applies to the original owner .

If you can supply a copy of original receipt and it's under warranty Sigma doesn't care.

You are right but they never ask if you are the original owner. In fact, (in case of Canon) I have even told them honestly that I am the second owner and they did honor warranty every time.
