Sigma 10-20 back after it's service

[stephenb]

Well my 10-20 has been returned after about 3 weeks away at Sigma service. It has had parts replaced although I have no idea what and it has been re-calibrated. Is it any better, well yes I think though. Had one or two iffy shots with it at first but I think that was me. Took this yesterday, I know it will not win any awards but I took it as a test.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, a bit of edge distortion that you will always get with that lens but generally nice and sharp across the whole image.

Out of interest was your's in warranty and if not did they charge to service it. I bought mine a couple of years back in the US and it's a bit soft on the right which I've been meaning to get sorted for ages but have been too lazy to get done..

Probably £65 m8 but you can always phone to check.

Service was £33.95 which I think is pretty good. Mine was soft in the top right hand corner too, not noticeable in every shot but enough for me to want to get it fixed.
