stiff Sigma 2.8/24-70mm

Garbidz,.. was this lens listed as being relatively new?

I ask because Sigma's zooms seem to allways arrive a little tight...
And they allways loosen up over time. With a little use ( 3 -4 months) it will most likely be smooth as you expect.

brand new they said though refurbished was the word for the customs
int'l warranty, unopened box so refurbish my foot...if it was refurb, it would have been loosened or put aside...

nice lens, anyhow, once got used to

about Miata suspension and KYB absorbers...I'll probably do it as on the wiggly mountain roads there is a lot of roll that gives an uneasy feeling though nothing slips or slides. There will be a problem with the speed bumps, though. Nothing comes easy or free!
