Grega,
My deepest apologies! I used two lenses on that roll of exposure
tests. The lens that gave me problems was my 19mm zoom, not the
28-200! The blockage on the latter was nonexistant. Keep in mind
that this series of tests was done on an Elan 7. So the results
from an EOS 300 may differ.
Forgive me for stating the obvious, but your friend should just
do a test. I'm presuming he has the latest Sigma 28-200 (the
f/3.5, not the f/3.8). This is the lens that I have. Please ask
him if he has a problem with the lens sticking while zooming
out--it gets a little stubborn at about the 80mm and then returns
to normal after passing that point.
thanks,
Chris
