Sigma 30mm 'To be used responsibly' ???

Just stumbled across this from amazon.co.uk - The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 has an '18' rating and "must be used responsibly and appropriately"

Any idea how you would use it inappropriately or irresponsibly

It must be 80 proof.

It encourages heavy drinking and smoking in young people. Don't ask me why.

Well, it's hardly a lens that peeping toms or stalkers would buy . . .

I'm wondering if it's anything to do with people getting violent, after getting a dodgy copy that front focuses


I see Amazon have now changed the ad - the warning has gone now - maybe they read this forum?

It's also there for the 100mm macro and not removed.

Maybe some people used it as a looking glass to stare directly into the sun? Or focus it to infinity and point their camera on a tripod to the sun until smoke started coming out...

Or...

get this...

it could be...

a simple data entry error.

*gasp* *shock*

It produces images so sharp you could cut yourself?

it can start a fire when left in the sun and both caps off.....duh
