I Just Ordered My First Non-Canon Lens

I just wish it would work on full frame and 1.3 crops. Otherwise the lens would be perfect. I'm hoping that somehow someone will say, I'm wrong.

You're wrong!

Ok you're actually right, but do you feel better?

Seriously, almost troll-like.

I will order my first canon lens too, the sigma 17-70

didn't you have to send your 30 1.4 in to sigma? in fact most of the sigma lenses you tout have had to go in...18-50....24-70...

there have been plenty of well-documented problems reported with the 30 1.4.

if i'm trollin' you're shillin' .

ed rader

you mean non-canon lens . the 17-70 is one sigma lens that most seem to be happy with the first time around.

Ed,

You're not giving me good vibes here You're working on my "anxiety" factor

Come on Big Brown...let's settle this issue...the answer lies in the box

Don't worry ... if there is any problem then Sigma customer service is top notch and in very little time you will get a custom tuned lens back from them. Dunno what the fuss about this kind of thing is

Condyk,

Thanks...I was just pulling Ed's chain He does have a thing for Sigma lenses?

So far I have been very fortunate in my lens purchases...8 of 8 ordered from the Internet and all keepers right out of the box. The only focus and/or sharpness issues were me! I have found that each lens is a seperate tool and each has a learning curve associated with it. I havn't mastered my lenses yet but I have progressed well beyond pixel peeking

If the Sigma does have issues then back to the factory it goes and I know that they will make it right.

my first comment was more to the fact that you were making your first non-canon purchase ... that you chose one of the more controversial lenses in terms of Q&A was an irony that i'm sure others noticed too.

i hope it works out for you the first time. i truly do .

and now i'm off for monterey for a few days food, photography, sunny beaches, sports (triathlon), female and canine companionship and whatever else with my bag of canon-only lenses .

Ed,

Have fun at Monterey...it is a great location

I'll keep posted on my 30MM lens...Jim

Good luck...I would like to get this lens one day as well..
I also only have 1 canon lens and I love my non canon lens...My sigma 150macro is AWSOME and so is my tamron. Its alot nicer to get alot more bang for your buck just cause it doesnt say canon

Seriously!!!!!


I love my 30 f/1.4. Great lens for sure!!!
