    Sigma warranty on lenses from US

    i just checked. it does clearly state that the lenses from adorama and B&H do have international warranty. 1 year international plus 2 or 3 years extended local US. that said, i heard sigma singapore is rather anal about such stuff. like the story i posted in the link above. i mean, this is...

    Sigma warranty on lenses from US

    well, i've read threads in the forum regarding sigma singapore refusing to honour the international warranty as stated in the package by B&H, as the warranty cards are without the dealer stamp. such as the one in this thread here...

    Sigma warranty on lenses from US

    Has anyone had any issues with their lens warranties with Sigma Singapore on lenses bought from the reputed US online dealers? It's supposed to have international warranty right?

    Recommendation for semi-pro DSLR.

    tried before. maybe cus i'm too used to a 40D body, which is why i felt that the 60D and 550D body felt the same. plasticky. just a size matters. /edit: yeah sorry for the misunderstanding. AF system is same as 40/50D. 9 point all cross type sensitive to f5.6 and above. went to check again...

    Recommendation for semi-pro DSLR.

    yea me too. if you're going to get that set up, remember to get some really comfortable camera strap. like the crumpler industry disgrace. 25 bucks to save you from some really painful neck aches. haha. some really funny video to reinforce that a good lens and a decent body is better than a...

    Recommendation for semi-pro DSLR.

    haha 3k cannot get so much stuff luh. lens plus body will blow budget and leave nothing left for other items he needs. quite honestly, if you can still find a 50D body in the shops, good for you. if you want video recording, a 550D really would suffice. cus the 60D is still a polycarbonate...

    EF 85 f1.8 USM / EF 100 f2 USM

    i'm mostly doing portraits on a 1.6x crop and some low light work. occasionally indoors, but most of the time outdoors. have a 50 1.8, but i dont seem to be satisfied with the focusing speed, and i'm looking for a lens with a longer focal length.

    EF 85 f1.8 USM / EF 100 f2 USM

    heyy people. anyone have any positive experiences with either lenses? looking to make a purchase, but can seem to decide on either lens cus the prices are about the same and the specs are really similar.
