Yes. I emailed back immediately that I am the original owner and I had just purchased the lens brand new that week. I've received no answer back yet.

Whether it's my fault or the lenses or a calibration issue, I decided to return it. $135 seemed unreasonable. I like Sigma's pricing, but I guess when you pay extra for Canon you also get better customer service.

Just got a reply: Hello Kelly, If the camera and lens combination gives you sharp images when using the Live View focusing feature of the camera then you have a slight misalignment in your cameras viewfinder focusing system, we can correct that with an AF Data adjustment to the...

Thank you everyone for the quick replies. I contacted Sigma - I haven't heard back from them yet. At the time I was looking for a new lens, I was also considering the Canon 70D body after talking to a sales rep at B&H Photo.

I agree, I will look into that lens. Thank you!

Thank you I will look into this!

Ronlane - I agree. The f/5.6 was concerning me. I will almost always be outside in the daytime, but I want coverage when these events end up inside. I will continue my search.

I am looking for a lens to take photos of horses in action. I will need some zoom as I am standing outside of a riding ring and the horses will be moving all over the place. I have a Canon Rebel T3 and I currently use the EF 75-300 F/4-5.6 III. I think the images could be clearer, and comparing...
