With Sigma, one cannot judge their built quality by how they felt, but need to actually use them for a period of time to know if they were good. I had 4 Sigma manual focus lenses, and 1 of them were junk mechanically. 1 with self-destructed rubber, aperture ring and gold plated contacts. The other 2 were fine, except all with poorly design aperture mechanisms (noticeable only to those who repair lenses). regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
