Looks like you are off to a good start with the Sigma, very nice. I guess the last one was done with smoke and mirrors or it has a twin to take up the load. And welcome aboard...Cliff

How can it be done, when the cam is set to OFF?

I really like that lens. It's huge for a 28mm but nice to handle even when focussing manually.

I am with you Paul, I like this lens a lot. It is quite big, but not so much larger than the 31mm Limited lens if you omit the hood. The close focus abilities are quite nice.

Nice images dbpaule. It's a nice lens that focuses close. I used to have it in Nikon mount. But it had AF issues, as most of the Sigmas I've had, so it was sold. Should have kept it and considered it a very nice MF lens.

A couple of samples... I love this lens for tight spots indoors! Perfect for birthday parties & etc.

my copy of this lens arrived yesterday and I'm happy to report that I'm quite pleased with it:
