With some recent issues on my 3rd party lenses, I am looking to make some moves:
Sigma 24-70 Macro - focus ring grinding. Local shop said send it to Sigma. I will not be covered so I can get an estimate for free. I currently have a chance to trade my 135L for a 24-70L (both same date codes). OUT OF POCKET: $0
Sigma 50mm - focus issues. Got a receipt from the seller I picked this up from back in November, so I can have this one calibrated, or at least sell it with proof of purchase at a discount. Trade/Replace with Canon variant. Either way, OUT OF POCKET : $0
Tokina 12-24: Communication error message:clean contacts - Sell at discount and get EF-S 10-22. OUT OF POCKET: $350-$400.
This leaves me with ALL Canon lenses (or worst case a calibrated Sigmalux), not to mention an L walkaround/general purpose lens - the 24-70 was my most used lens.
Thoughts?
