USED to.. coz the zooming mechanism jammed and the swivel head broke. :thumbsd: Click to expand... Thanks for the heads-up. The EF-530DG is more of a direct competitor to the 56AM/5600HS series, specs-wise. The F42AM is a step down. But yeah, when it comes to QC for Sigma products, it can be hit-or-miss sometimes. navlem said: Bought the Minolta 5600HS aka Sony 56AM Click to expand... Nicely done. It's an old model, but still a very capable one. :thumbsup:
