Grey Market?!?!

Hey, Ive had my sigma 10-20mm lens for a few weeks now and ive always recognized it didnt have and AF/MF button. I just thought thats how it was. But to go back to the orginal auction i bought it from in the pics it has this toggle. Was i ripped off, or is this a non-recent model or something like that?

Hmmm, no, it should have the switch on the bottom of the lens.

ugh, what do you guys think the situation is? Should i contact the seller. They had an ebay store and it all seemed legit. I mean it came in a sigma case and such

Sigma lenses vary somewhat depending on the camera they were made for.

Their Nikon lenses (I assume that's what you're using) may not have
such a switch while their lenses for another model might.

Unless your lens appears to obviously have a part missing and it operates
correctly, I wouldn't worry.

 

[JimmyO]

I think your right. I did some researching and it said that the nikon mount does not have this. Wierd.

The Canon mounts all have this switch That may be the photo they used for the add was a Canon mount version small over sight on there part,at least you got the Nikon mount

Before the advent of digital (or the D40 for that matter) Canon was the only one with a motor in the lens. All Canon mounted lenses came with the switch to control the focus from the lens.
