Thanks Tony-O for that reference. Good photos. Doesn't answer everything though. Where do the ball bearings go? Also question above for Clarky. The detent spring photo is interesting. I need to open lens up to see if I have that spring or whether its lost?

Hi Clarky, thanks for posting that illustration. I also have a copy of that lens. Does part X510 have anything fitted in the tiny hole on the inside of it? At the moment I use the lens as an "M" with F ratio limited to range of 1.7 to 9.5 which is OK. Optics are excellent.
cheers

What about super glueing a small pad on top of the button so it is easier to find and press?

The Sigma 105 EX Dg Macro does have an aperture ring. It has a focus limiter which means the AF only searches over a limited focus distance. Speeds up macro focussing or alternately distance focussing. Can leave switched off also. From all accounts all three brands are very good. I have the Sigma.

Great shots Amin. The Peacock colours pop OK on my screen!

A strong flash could handle 15 metres. Also you could have a slave flash or 2 closer to the front. Of course flash might annoy the h... out of everyone!
