Likewise. I'll add the 20D, 50D and 1DMKIIN to your list too.

well, perhaps re-chip is the only way forward. still wondering why some can use this config without re-chipping..

This is making decide to not get a 7D just because I don't have the money yet to upgrade to IS. Ugh...I know I could send it in. I'll keep watch on this thread. I'll probably still get the 7D too.

I have the 7D/firmware ver. 1.2.2 and Sigma 70-200 DG EX HSM II Macro Micro-adjusted to +16 using Teamspeeds adjustment chart. Here is a photo of one of my granddaughters. The focus point was the lower eyelashes on her right eye.

Hope that helps.

Purchased from Adorama on 02/16/09, and the # on the bottom of the lens is 1032462. Don't know if that helps.

The cps shop where i have my 7D and my lens called me yesterday, they found the lens to be working 100% with another 7D almost regardless of firmware.
They have ordered some replacement parts for my camera, i will update once i know more.

Re Chip, I am sure it will work, Sigma is a great company that works well with its customers. I had a 30 1.4 in 4/3'rds they swapped it out even though I was the second owner. Sigma is great. Send it in and watch the mail box

I have a version 1 (non-macro) and my 7D is firmware 1.1.0...
Works great, just as snappy as my previous Canon whites.
Makes me wonder.....If I upgrade the firmware.....what will happen?

No idea at the moment
My lens and 7D is currently at the cps shop, they did not seem to think that it was a firmware issue since they have ordered replacement parts for the body.
If you can hold on for a week or so untill i have my 7D back then i can try to upgrade the firmware on the 7d that is currently working with the lens.

By all means
I'm not in a hurry to upgrade my firmware, I really like things the way they are.

I should be getting a used version one sigma 70-200 today, the original owner had a 7d and says it works with no problems. Im on the latest firmware on mine so will post back once i have it. Is there anyway to tell if the lens has been re-chipped?

Yep i have the original one as well, just got it this morning and no problems with it working on my 7d so surely anything newer should work as well?
