Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM -SIGMALUX-

think its related to distance?

May well be right - think it works much better closer up. I took a test shot in a church in readiness for a christening on Sunday I have to cover - focused on some flowers in front of the altar and the rostrum behind was in focus. Ok, it was white flowers in front of a white altar but still doesn't explain the back focus...thing is I can't always replicate it. On the the other hand the 24-70 locked on (albeit at 2.8) without any problems.

Anyone else have a Sigmalux that makes a sorta high pitched whine?

Not like..normal HSM focusing ssssss but more like a EEEEEEEE

i sent mine in today....

no matter what i do, it doesn't focus sharpy on the subject. very disappointed w/the lens.

Oh it will be spot on!

i just wont be able to choose what spot that is anymore!

Mine does not screech like my last copy but every now and then from the minimum focusing distance to infinity (extreme focusing) i hear a noise about 1 out of 10 times or so. Just enough to make you wonder. Probably due to sigma's stigma

I may send it in if i don't need it for a month. we'll see
