The wife being the sweet heart, she waited for the postman for me today.
The postie brought 2 boxes at around 1pm, i had to wait till 5 to get home - i was like a kid on christmas morning!

anyway once i got through layer of bubble wrap and everything else i managed to pull out these 2 beauties

Even with them being 2nd hand i am still a lot lighter in the pocket but money well spent and mostly on advice from you lot so its all your fault :razz:

now where is that good weather!:thinking:

I needed a wide angle for a job and this came at a good price and meant my fund fro the 2.8 IS dissapeared. I was getting fed up with only having the one zoom gonig to 70mm and then a prime at 85 and 150 so i have my bases covered now. Just need to go out and test the buggers!

I haven't used the Sigma, but the 10-22mm is just lovely; my favourite EF-S lens after the 17-55mm, but the 10-22mm is more fun.

bit of bad news - the sigma is front focusing. even with +20 on the 50D micro adjustment its not right.

I have 6 months shop warranty on it so gonig to have to use that for the send of and calibration.

Ouch :(
I suppose a warranty repair would be the best solution if you got a deal on the price.
Have you mentioned it to the seller?

it was a shop i bought it from so hopefully they will honour the 6 months guarantee they give in house. Just doing some fact finding on cost!
