Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO AF problems on K20D

Howdy, I am hoping someone here has solved this problem.

My recently acquired Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO focuses perfectly on my K10D but not so on the K20D. I tried adjusting AF for this lens on the K20D but so far it's still work in progress.

Would anyone happen to know if there is perhaps a firmware update for this lens? I looked on the Sigma website but no luck yet. Any advice would be much appreciated.

hmm

I got this lens when I had my k100ds.

I just received my k20d last week, and I haven't had any problems at all.

Update

I ended up shipping the lens to a Sigma repair center, there was just no way to adjust it in-camera to focus correctly. It's real pity because I really like this lens. I will post an update on how it performs after the calibration.

Sigma repair center has a really good rep, hopefully it's fixed soon
k100d is online now
