Hi There,
I've got a Sigma 150mm Macro that i bought after seeing so many great reviews of this lens. However the copy I have seems to have an issue and I wondered if anyone here might know what it is. Basically usually when shooting at a reasonable distance (ie not Macro) and most noticbly wide open, the lens can be really soft and almost produces a double image. The lens seems really sharp when used in macro.
Attached is an example where i've also managed to get a sharp shot a couple of minutes apart. The focus is slightly different so I do wander if it is partly a focus issue but I've never seen the double image effect before from other lenses. Both images were shot at 1/1250th.
I bought the lens on Ebay a while ago so can't send it back. If I send it to Sigma would they fix this and do you know how much they might charge?
Thanks!
Greg
