I've been having a few problems with my Sigma 70-300 lately (the APO DG Macro version).
It started a couple of months ago while out, I turned my 350D on, and instead of the aperture displayed on the screen, it said 00, and nothing would work.
On advice, I turned the camera off, removed the lens, put it back, turned on again, and all was fine again.
However, yesterday, I got it FOUR times in the space of about 4 hours, re-negotiating the lens/contacts each time, and a power cycle, sorted it.
Also, at one point, I think I was in Aperture Priority mode, and I went to stop down/decrease the aperture (by rolling my wheel to the right), and it just wouldn't budge. I switched to Shutter Priority, and tried rolling the wheel to the right, and the shutter speed started decreasing (ie going the wrong way).
I turned the camera on and off, and it was fine again. (I thought the wheel might have been dodgy).
All with the same lens.
Has anyone had similar problems? Not just with this lens, mabe other lenses? I have never had the 00 or yesterdays wheel problem with my kit lens.
