Since I don't have MA it is going back and I'm going to settle for the Canon 28 1.8. I was really hoping that it was true that these issues were rare and I would get a good copy. Gear

You could have sent your camera and the lens to sigma to have the lens calibrated. Canon 7D | Canon 50mm f/1.4 | 430EX II

The copy I had before was my favorite lens. The only reason I got rid of it was because I needed a zoom (or so I thought). Then I got the S95 for those times when primes don't work and now I'm back to primes. I was really hoping I'd get a properly focusing copy on my first try and not have to screw around with it. Just disappointed. Gear

LouKango Member 122 posts Joined Aug 2010 More info | May 20, 2011 23:41 | #5168 They'll cover only one way so no... you'll have to pay for shipping to sigma. If I were you, i'll just drive there. takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes to get from Wappingers falls to Ronkonkoma. A nice trip. They finished calibrating my lens in an hour. Just make sure you call to see if you have to do any "online paperwork" before walking in.
