8lias, try not tuning the camera off but rather set the sleep time to 1 min. I rarely turn mine off except when changing lens.

I suspect my Sigma has focus problem, tend to be soft, and color tend to be a tad saturated, but I'll know for sure when I perform the test. So good luck, and happy snapping.

Send it in if you have doubts. Sigma service is superb so why even worry about this stuff. I sent mine to them even before I'd hardly used it to have them check it met all specifications. Never even had a thought about focus issues since.

I am very happy with my new Tamron lens. It's small and sharp throughout the range. There are some bad copys around though so try one on YOUR body first. That goes for both lenses.

I have the Tamron 28-75mm. I've been super happy with it. It's only downside is that sometimes you do kinda want 24mm on the wide end. This only happened to me when I went to chicago and wanted building pictures.

My copy has no focusing issues and is really sharp. My friend bought one along with his 20D and he also has no problems.

One AWESOME lens for the price.

How ironic, I'm from chicago and I plan on shooting buildings and what not.

Thanks guys... I still dont know what im going to do, but i have a lot of time =]
