I too have heard that the F50/1.4 is allegedly superior to the FA version, but aren't they optically the same?
How can the supposed difference be explained?

Hi,

I've got a Sigma 24-60/2.8 EX DG for sale, would like 220€ for it (net to me).
Would you be interested?

Cheers,

Nick

EDIT: Oops, sorry Brightstone, I posted a few seconds after you and didn't see your reply.

PM sent.

I have this TC and can confirm it behaves in the same way with SDM lenses.

Bump.

Thanks for the info - that's very helpful.
Sounds like it may be a hassle to have it fixed - for comparison's sake I've returned, at the beginning of January, to the Pentax repair center here in France a DA* 55 who couldn't focus to infinity anymore, and they're still waiting for a part, and are unable to tell me when it might arrive. That's for a lens that is currently being produced

Thanks.
I suppose you must have gone to a camera repair shop and ask whether the AF/MF switch was fixable (it should be a purely mechanical issue I guess), what did they tell you?

What do you mean? Is it an auction, starting at 500€? Or are you looking at offers as close to 500€ as possible?

Hi,

As an alternative to what I was looking for in this thread, I would also be interested by one of those single straps:

Black Rapid RS-4
Black Rapid RS-5
Sun Sniper

Thanks in advance.
