All, Has anyone used this lens? I found a used one for 120 euros. Would this lens be very disappointing, or would it give decent pictures? I know it won't be as good as a prime but the 3.5 - 4.5 range is not too bad. I also found a 20-35 f/2.8 L for 630 euros. Is that a fair price? From reviews

I believe Sigma has introduced a digital small sensor only 18-135mm, which would approximate a 28-200 in 35mm terms. Details are on their website. * *** *** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: *http://www.a1.nl

My camera did focus, but it could not longer raise the entire mirror. Part of the mirror would go up, but part remained down. It left for Canon in Irvine already. Canon should have it Monday, and they tell me that they have a 10 to 12 day turnaround time. On Sat, Jul 10, 2004 at 09:33:20AM -0600
