Some of the last pictures I took with the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 before I sold it off. In Valencia in February.

I hope this is the proper place to ask this question. I have a few Sigma lenses for various platforms and have been pleased with the quality. However, I'm having a problem with the 18-200 Sigma DC 3.5-6.3 that came with my newly acquired K200D. The focus seems to be "off", in that I'm not getting very clear images in autofocus (an 18-55 kit lens does better on this camera). If I work at it, I can get clearer images by manually focusing the Sigma than by AF. The focus ring seems to be dragging too much with the zoom ring. If I turn the zoom, with the camera in manual focus mode, the focus ring goes with it. I can turn the focus ring manually, but it wants to drag the zoom ring also; the only thing stopping it is the stiffness of the zoom ring.

Thoughts? Is this just the way it is with an older lens, or is there a way to rehab it?

Thanks in advance.

Two of my favourites from the 35mm f/2 DG DN from a recent trip to Mojácar on the south-east coast. This lens makes me happy every time I use it and from these two images it seems to have a particular affinity for nice shades of blue.

My daughter and her husband from this weekend. 18-35 Art @35mm F2.8, !/250, ISO 250

Anyone know why the uploaded image is cooler than the image in Lightroom? I see this often, but I have no idea why it is happening.
