Hello Colling. Very intersting:
Which body have ypu used it with? (I use *ist D And MZ-S) (why does it lose
contact - is the contact conection wireing inside the lens damanged and may
be reapaired? I would need to have thos repaired - I guess 100UISD for a
reparair would be OK. I shoot concert
... I meant of course Shutter Priority Mode; Tv.
Camera must set Aperture.
BTW: www.Photodo.com rates the Sigma EX 2.8 70-200mm APO above the
compeditors from Pentax and Tokina!!
Amazing, isn't it?

nice
lens but the Tamron Adaptall 80-200 f2.8 MF is even nicer. Better
build,
even sharper but slightly larger. I havent tried it on DSLR

I had the AF 80-200mm ATX-Pro (which a fellow PDML'er now owns :-(
)...and while it is a great lens in its own right (sharp, well built,
