Cracking shots, I like the first, but the second is superb.
What lens is it?

Run if the noise stops!

I think I sent you a private message!

Lots of light 125/s f11............what can go wrong?




I can't believe that the autofocus gets it wrong EVERY time.
I have contacted Sigma who want to look at some of my pics.

I have been in contact with Sigma service and they asked me to send some sample shots to them.
They confirmed that there is a fault with the lens, saying that it was consistently "front focusing" and offered to recalibrate it.
Armed with this information I contacted my supplier (Devon Camera) who are going to exchange the lens and throw in some microfibre lens cloths to cover my inconvenience.
My advice to anyone who thinks there is a problem with soft images, is to contact Sigma service who were very helpful.
Excellent service from 2 organisations.

Does any one who's got the 10-20 and is happy with the results live near me? If so perhaps we could meet and you could try my lens on your camera and compare results.

This one seems OK; comments please

Thanks for that, that's the most useful thing I've had back so far. Some of my shots have been as sharp as I'd expect and others seem to have nothing in focus properly at all. I must learn to use this, but I sort of expected everything in focus due to the large depth of field, and infinity being not much after 1 metre. What's to focus on?! If something is 5 metres away surely it must be in focus. Maybe I should use manual focus and leave at infinity for most shots.

No tripod, but shake reduction on, which should be good enough for 10mm @ 1/15

Still not sure of the sharpness of the lens, but I haven't been out much.
Please comment on the quality of the lens in this pic, taken at 10mm f8
