Just reminiscing over the past year with this lens and looking through some of the shots I got over this past year. I upgraded to the Canon 70-200 2.8 ISii which I bought here on this site and I think I will sell this lens but what a fun lens it has been. Definitely have no regrets about it.:D

Just got mine back from Sigma after a proper going over, complete with firmware and calibration to camera (which I'm selling now, lol), but heres the result - just a quick high ISO snap really as its raining all over the place!

Chris, did you get yours back and how was it?

Glad it worked second time! And, errr, no... funny story really! :( Mine has been put on a plane to Japan to have the optics corrected! I won't be getting it back for about another month :(

Good grief I thought mine was getting special treatment - yours get a holiday!!

Major pain though.

Mmm it does suck a bit, but if it comes back nice and sharp, then i'm not too fussed... thankfully i'm not a professional photographer, as this would have been an unacceptable turnaround time otherwise.
