Sorry, should have stated '1' in general, but in this second-hand
DSLR-context it only applies to the 1n of course (and the older 1
obviously not being affected either), while excluding 1v/1d).
However, I would still like to hear whether the overall-
incompatibility of Sigma lenses with lower-grade EOS bodies is equal
to that of higher-grade EOS bodies like 1v/1d....or only certain
Sigma lenses....
Of course, it's obvious we hear much more incompatibility stories in
the context of lower-grade bodies, but still....never seen any Sigma
sample listed....

8mm/f4.0, with its all-mechanical mount....anyone still having one
laying around, with PK/CY/OM-mount?....;)) Jan
