is this autofocus? any sample shots?

**akptc** · 07-23-2014, 01:27 PM

It is auto focus and quite sharp. I will try to post some sample shots later in the week.

Wow - very good price. I paid $75 more for one and felt it was a good deal. Very fast focus, sharp, moderate CA. I got rid of mine when I managed to get the APO Tele-Macro version, which is a great lens with no CA that I've seen, but substantially heavier and not as fast to focus. I miss the lighter weight and fast focus, but not the CA. (And the autofocus died on mine, which I now know is a common Sigma problem in general. I eventually fixed mine, since the problem on the APO Tele-Macro is a gear post loosening and getting out of alignment; the web says that when it goes on this lens, it's a stripped plastic gear, like most Sigmas.)

"Very fast focus" - good point, I should have mentioned that. I used it mostly for my daughters soccer, could not complain about focus speed at all. I have tons of pics just need to find the right archive drive...

.. oh, and I guess I need to update the price by about + $75
