Yes
Does anyone know if there are any compatabilty issues with the Mk1 1D and the Sigma lens?

Bought the lens just recently and I think the iris is sticking but wanted to check before I complain.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Thanks PapaL,

Bit difficult at the moment - I'm in Iraq! lol I'll pop them an email off and see if they will service it as i bought it second hand. Any idea of prices?

Hi,
A Sigma lens will significantly reduce the speed of your camera's auto focus capabilities, if you can live with that then go ahead.
Sigma have some great lenses but don't expect fast performance. I use a 1Dmki and I occasionally use Sigma prime lenses when AF speed isn't an issue.
It would be much better to use Canon's L series with a 1D if you can afford it, they were after all 'made for each other'.
 
I've a 1D MKII and the 24-70 2.8, had no problems with it....so far (touch wood!)
