I prefer the second pic, not keen on that light coloured "sky" in the top image, I suppose you could say that one is the lesser of two weevils

I've not had any "going to sleep" problems with either of mine and over the last couple of years they've spent an awful lot of time sat in the bag, especially the 50-135.
Even after it's death defying fall to the floor last November my 16-50 still worked (apart from a few fuzzy images and stiff zoom ring)
That little incident got me a newer lens with the upgraded motor, so that just leaves the 50-135 to nurture

As for whether the SDM in these lenses has actually been upgraded I found this after a quick search:

I have the flash pouch for the original AF360FGZ, Make me an offer

I'll take some pics if your interested.

It's Faux Leather with drawstring round the top, not the newer fabric one.
As new condition, never been used.

Have a look at the "uninstall software" folder on your laptop (control panel>programs), if there is a file there to uninstall CS3 then that's a good indication the installation is tied up with the Windows registry, if that's the case then it's not going to work.

I feel a nipper after reading the last two posts

Can't recall ever seeing the Scotsman but do remember seeing Mallard at Copley Hill Sheds in Leeds. I'd probably have been between 7-9 at the time so around 61-63, although she was withdrawn from service in 63

Well the lens arrived back yesterday from Alan Marlow and all is well, and cheaper than a couple of hours with Sigma which included return postage
