Care to elaborate? *You* need to elaborate, troll. What you said is indeed nonsense, and you cannot provide detail to support it. Chill out, it's only camera equipment. ;-) I must admit, it was a bit of a troll post, Still trolling are we! There is always one or two in every ng. I wonder who the other is. It's a waste of bandwidth when you write a bunch of nonsense to see what others will say. I am not going to nit-pick ... That's all you did though. It's just about the same as complaining that you have to have a red dot on the left side, and one company uses yellow dots or only puts them on the left side. It's nonsense. Get used to it, Canon makes good equipment, and so does Nikon. A lot of people won't buy the same brand that you did, and often it will be for good reasons. |

We arenąt going to stop renting Sigma entirely but we are going to close out two lines (the 150-500 and 120-400) that have developed so many problems as to be unusable. |

What exactly do you mean by lens failure. Is it just poor image quality or is the build quality so bad it just falls apart? also, http://www.lensrentals.com/news/2008.09.12/the-sigma-saga Since day 1 the Sigma brand has always been a bit of a money loser for us: they broke more frequently than the other brands.

What exactly do you mean by lens failure. the failures are listed in the link: zoom mechanism, calibration, autofocus and stabilization for sigma. Is it just poor image quality or is the build quality so bad it just falls apart? actually, some very old sigma lenses did fall apart. |
