This time its the AF motor (at least that's what it sounds like to me).

I got it from Teletek in Greenacres. There is still a year left on the warranty.
 
this is kinda off topic but i heard from someone that Katz is closing down. now i've bought my lens and flash from them, how do i go about with warranty issues? do i go direct with Sigma?
 
Took it in today - they've sent it to cpt (to Tudor) for repairs so I'll hopefully have it back in a couple of weeks.
 
wow you only took it in today.. you've been a busy man hey :P

It's a great everyday walkabout lens that lives on one of my bodies. I was still reluctant to bring it in even if it is sounding a bit rough.
 
in my case its my everyday lens and it's such a brilliant lens. i'm so lost without it.
thanks for the great advice on it :)
 
Meh.. now you've shown me another lens that I can add to my collection that isn't too expensive.....

*sigh*

LOL, i see there's a Tamron 18-270mm f3.5 - 6.3 Di II VC out and about somewhere. It's nice and wide and it is almost as long as the 300mm plus it has VC

With that range (28-300) its a handy lens if you're not in the mood to carry a load of glass with you.
 
Yeah, thats pretty much what I'm thinking....

My kit lens and 70-300 are always with me.. but it would be nice to have to lens with a fairly large range as well and the 28-300 seems to fit that bill perfectly....

What's the 70-300? Is it worth keeping if you get the 28-300?
 
the 70-300 is a Sigma lens as well...

and probably not really worth keeping if I get a 28-300.... but I'd have to figure that one out... just trying to see the different costs of the Sigma lens from a few diff places.

When I have a bit more cash lying around I'm looking at a 150-500 as well.. but they're just v pricey.. :(

I dont get to use it as much as I would like. :o
 
Well, I'm quite happy with Sigma right now. My 10-20 was getting soft on the left side of the frame - no idea why. I sent it in (it's still under warranty), which resulted in two positive things:

1. It didn't get stolen with my camera
2. They sent me a brand new one!

This leaves me in a good position. If I decide to go for a 5D or 5DmkII instead of another 40D or 50D, I can sell this one off for a better price.
 
Well the dentist just put paid to my plans to contemplate getting a new lens today.. *mutter*
 
All is right in the world again. :)
