I tried two of these lens and the first one had a front focus issue of about 8 inches at 15 feet,, it would never obtain focus at infinity,, sent it back to B&H for a replacement,,
when the second lens arrived I went outside for a few shots and immediately notice the lens was having a hard time tryign to focus on anything just hunting all over,, if I would manually focus it on a subject it often would start hunting for another focus point,, at times it would also just click click click like the internal focus was trying but nothing would happen,,
I called Sigma in New York and they said to send it in for repair, a brand new lens???? I told them my story about this being the second lens I was trying and they could care less,, send it back was their reply,,
after checking around on a few other camera locations I find that others are experiencing similar problems,, one person said he had sent his lens back to Sigma and they had it for a 50 days and still no resolve on the problem,,
I returned the second lens to B&H for a refund,, will buy an Olympus 150mm 2.0,, will cost more but I know it will work on my E3,,
