ateet Senior Member 271 posts Joined Jul 2011 More info | May 06, 2012 15:42 | #1 Decided to part with my Canon 50mm f/1.4 and get on the Sigma bandwagon. I have 60D so no MFA, but was hoping to win lottery and guest what I lost. Canon 5D Mk III | EF 24-70L II | EF 135L | EF 70-300L | EF 50mm f/1.8 | 580EX II

Amazon gave me credit to cover the cost of sending in one of my sigma lenses I bought from them. Sigma does cover return shipping, mine was sent 3 day select. T3i, Sigma 10-20, Sigma 30 1.4, 18-55 kit, 55-250, YN-565, a few books, some software, and a desire to get good.....

May 06, 2012 19:43 | #8 Got it from Amazon. I'll have to see my options at this point in time. Planning to go 7D or 5D MK II in the near future. I have 580EX II and with 15-85mm at my arsenal indoors, I could skip the Sigma for now. Decisions....decisions. highergr0und wrote in post #14389626  Where did you buy it from? Amazon gave me credit to cover the cost of sending in one of my sigma lenses I bought from them. Sigma does cover return shipping, mine was sent 3 day select. I would definitely send it in regardless. I know you want to pay $489 or whatever and have it right, but adding another $20-30 to ship in the body and lens with insurance still gives you a very good overall deal.

I really notice off kilter with ultra wide, and it is something the same for very shallow depth of field shots as well. Eos m w/kit zoom
