So where do i go from here then guys if the shoe was on your foot?

Lots of tests have been done now and its pretty obvious that once again there are issues with some or all of my gear.

50mm f1.4 improves greatly at -10 Focus Adjust but still seems to be begging for more.

16-45 - seems to want -8 focus adjust.

Sigma 120-400mm or is it 70-200 f2.8 or is it 150-500mm - Seems to be no improvement with Focus adjust at any setting but in order to get acceptable results it really needs a minimum f8-f9 which if we are being totally frank you would get great results with any lens at those apertures.

I was looking over some older pictures when i was doing the Photome Lens ID test and came across a few Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX DG pictures.
The 100-300mm is a lot sharper at f4 than my 120-400 is at f8.
I realise its not a proper comparison due to several factors but when you see how good sigma lenses can and should be it makes you wonder whats gone wrong.

Im also showing the up to date version of Photome.

Sigmas answer is to return it to them or the retailer. With such a heavy lens this could be costly for you.[/quote].

Did a little research and theres some conflicting reports on this.
Some say it can be potentially damaging others say otherwise but im curious as to why they report correctly in Nikon and Canon but not Pentax. But as Mr. Mellow stated Sigmas answer is to return it to them or the retailer.

Will call Sigma on monday and see what they say.

Also reports accurate info with a Nikon D80 using a Tamron 17-50mm and Siggy 10-20mm

Just to check that theory i checked all my old Pictures taken with a Canon 40D and Various Sigma and other 3rd party Lenses.
All report the exact lens used precisely.

These include. Siggy 10-20, Tokina 12-24, Siggy 24-70, Siggy 100-300mm f4 EX.

Photome made 2 attempts and well..Was wrong on both occasions.
Im waiting for the local radio station to call me and thank me for being a good sport at their wind ups.

Heres the proof.
Screenie using Adobe Bridge (latest version.)
Just to point out, the very latest version of Bibble pro has no idea in hell whats its dealing with which is really strange as it is usually spot on.

Ok..To sum up..Ive got a Camera that needs to go to Specsavers and a Lens with an identity Crisis.

Oh..this is very strange..According to my Exif i have a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG fitted.

My next Question is ...How do i fix it?

Kit lens performs very well apart from at the edges.
Thought the primes would have been a lot better though.

Good Point.
