Typo/metric error in lens review...

Just thought I'd put up that on the Sigma 28-105 2.8-4 lens review (for some reason the listing is repeated, as well) I noticed the metric length measurement doesn't add up to the English. (I suspect the metric's the correct one, but I can measure when my copy arrives: I noticed cause I was wondering if it'd fit in something. )

This is one of the two.

The repeated lising was my fault RML. I was new to the forum and I did not do something right; hence the second posting. As far as the metric........ I dunno.... I more or less repeated the specs from another source.......... I will delete the second post..... Adam has to show me how or he can do it himself.......

You can't delete lenses, but you can edit them.

Let me know which of the two to delete, then link me, and I'll take care of it!

OK, mine just arrived a little bit ago, it looks like 3.1 inches/81mm would be the correct measurement.

Looks to be a pretty nice lens, too, as nearly as I can tell from firing around at a few apertures. At least compared to expectations.

Res should be able to edit the entry and add the correct measurements once they are confirmed; please use the PM system for this purpose.
