A request to any Sigma 120-300 owners

[chris321]

Afternoon all, just a quickie for anyone with a 120-300 nearby...

Please could you post a shot of what the little screw that tightens to attach the hood looks like on the inside (of the hood). Mine isn't working properly, it's got a bit chewed up and I need to know what it looked like originally so I can file it into the correct shape! Cheers

I can when I get home, its just a small screw with a plastic surround.

Mine actually unscrewed itself the other day and fell out, luckily it fell into my peli.

Awesome, cheers for that Neil! Mine isn't too far off, I think the screw got a bit loose and when I tightened it up it was in the wrong place, just need to wiggle it around a bit and tighten it back up hopefully! Thanks so much

no bother

i think after a while the screw works its way loose as it turns with the external nob, just something to watch out for as like i say one day it just drops off
