That’s impressive, their lens support is so bad, I’ve heard 3-6 months.

exactly. Not all L Lenses have weather sealing but some people are clueless to that.

the Canon 50L has focusing issues as much as the sigma so that doesnt say much there. I’ve had both and can say that the Sigma 50 once calibrated is a sweet lens.

I have nothing but good stuff to say about sigma and there support in the uk anyway.

My flash got snapped of my pentax, for £10 they had sent me the replacement part the next day.. a year later and my flash died with Error msg on the lcd. Even without a receipt they replaced the flash for me within a week.

Pentax on the other hand told me I’d have to pay for a sensor replacement for stuck pixels in video mode (even though its a firmware bug.. as switching from liveview to video actives the pixel mapping and removes them).

My concern has to do with Sigma’s utter lack of a good professional repair service, like NPS (which I’ve been a member of for decades(yeah, I know lately it’s been pretty bad)). I would invest in Sigma glass if 1) they increased the focus speed (I know it is more complicated since they are engineering a standard lens to work with multiple camera manufactures bodies), and 2) a decent return time on repairs. I’ve used many Sigma lens in the past and been satisfied but not overwhelmed.

Why would you invest in an inferior camera like the D800 or 5D3 when you could get a D4 or a 1DX?

Probably because they get the job done really well.

Sorry no Moron, but i can;t imagine why would anyone with say a Nikon D800 and Canon Mark III like I do invest in inferior Glass. Third party glass is just that “third party glass” I stay totally away, my photography is a very serious thing.

Sure, everybody knows that Canon and Nikon build “special lenses” that doesn’t work properly especially for ebay sellers. That’s why they’re cheaper. O.O
