I seem to be the only one that thinks the old version looks better (based on images I have seen). I like how the old finish has some texture to it.

the fuzzy stuff? I wouldn't mind it at all! I just wanted a warranty for my lens. LOL

works same way as Bing Cashback did. go thru their site, click the store link, make your purchase. you get 2% of your purchase after waiting 90 day. once you accumulate over $10 you can withdraw into your paypal. you already get $5 as sign up bonus.

I am actually signed up for Mr. Rebates.com but ..I have no idea how to use it; it just says I'll be getting a 2% cash back somehow. lol

i just brought a sigmalux off craigslist from original owner who only had it for 6 months. with copy of the receipt i still have 3.5 years of sigma warranty. woot. i like their new finish more, looks more clean.

I'm gonna log into the site and find out where my $5 bucks is. LOL

Which one is new and old?

i would say left is new, right is old. one on left does looks more dust resistance, more polished plastic?

new ones with polish black finish have serials starting with 11XXXXXX.

they only process withdrawals once a month, you'll get the funds deposited on the 1st or 2nd day of the month.

I fell victim to their phone call and got a lens baggy for my new Sigma 30mm. LOL

Looks like the Canon finish almost..at least I know my Sigmalux is the newer finish but ..still I had to send it back. lol

I like the newer finish.

Are they still working through old stock of parts? The focus ring on the copy on the left still has the old finish

I don't remember my copy having that fuzzy ring..I'll let you know when I get it back.

doesn't a lens bag already come with most sigma lenses anyways?...hope they didn't charge you too much for that one...

also make sure you register the lens online to get an additional 3 years added to the warranty

I don't know if it came with a bag but it didn't say it did so I was just kinda safe than sorry. My Sigmalux did come with one but the bag was $10 bucks so it wasn't such a big dip on there. I'll register it soon once I get it! Thanks again DreDaze~

after you register, is the warranty and extra 3 years for EX lenses transferable?
