Sigma 70-200 HSM II first shots

Sigma 70-200 HSM II first shots · 06:52 PM

The first two are @ 200mm f2.8 just to see if I had a problem. You be the judge.

No sharpening, just a little color cor. and slight crop. Full res @ Flickr

These next ones are downsized and sharpened. Various distance and aperture.

Okay, I'm done. Sorry about the overload.

Just sent it off for service. Fingers crossed for a painless transaction.

Good luck, this will be a good test of Sigma customer service.

I'm keen to hear how you get on, keep us posted. I've got a couple of Sigma lenses and it would be good to hear of great after sales service.

I will probably send my 100-300 in the fall/winter for service so it will be good to see how you fair.
I have sent a couple emails and was answered promptly so communication so far has been good.
Goodluck, hope it goes quick for you deadwolfbones.

Thanks, and sorry about hijacking your thread!

OP images are still excellent. ;]

Any advances on Sigma's service of your lens deadwolfbones?
I'm keen to hear also as I too have ordered a copy of the lens after returning a Tamron 70-200 for a sticky aperture lever. I'll only have 1 yr warranty on mine being a non-US customer.

deadwolfbones · 08-31-2009, 09:00 PM

Lens has been with them for a week and a half (real time, not business time). No word from them as yet.

**Ash** · 08-31-2009, 09:15 PM

OK then. Do keep us posted of the developments with this service and whether the issue is fixed.
Cheers.

Thanks for posting... for the past week I've been contemplating between getting a 50-135 & this lens... I was hesitant about getting the 70-200mm due to some reviews about it getting soft at 200mm but real world results looks good enough for me.

I guess LA ?
