Tom, That makes sense. Did you try to update the firmware on the Sigma lenses? If you did have you had any success? How old were these lenses? >From what I have heard on this list Sigma has very good customer support. I am just wondering how far back they are willing to do free/inexpensive updates. Also what is your experience with Tokina lenses regarding firmware upgrades?
