When I press the shutter button down I hear a clicking sound but the lens does not focus at all.

I going to try to clean the contacts tonight but it seems like something is broken.

Any thoughts? Shipping alone on this thing will cost a small fortune to send in.

-Other lens work fine?
-This lens work on another body?
-Manual focus?

Did you call / email Sigma? Are you the original owner? How old is the lens? Sigma has a very generous warranty period.

So it works on another body?

Sounds like it's an interface issue, I'm assuming it worked previously on this body?
