And none of them send outside it's local country (well, asumming Austria was annexed once again to Germany).

A pity.

Indeed.
I would've paid the 50 euro (+ shipping), but I don't have the option - and I don't have friends abroad to get me one

I want a golden one with two little diamonds

**Larrymc** · 10-21-2019, 05:56 AM

No thanks. For that price my black one is really looking great.....it matches my camera body well!!

It is clearly slower to attach, weighs too much and has a mirror-y sheen that is "straight out of last century". Not only that, it does not have a Sigma counterpart.
89%, Silver Award.

It's always out of focus when moving in the z direction.

It needs a polarising filter to remove reflections...
