I know for camera bodies you can find out how many activations there are.
For lenses I was wondering if you could find out how many times it's been activated? Specifically Sigma Lenses.
Thanks

One easy test: check the focus ring to see if it's really loose or hanging off. If it is, it's been used *too many* times. 70D | Rokinon 8mm | 15-85mm | Sigma 30mm | 85mm 1.8 | 55-250mm | 430EX
