Have one from me too...
Sigma (UK)
I bought a Sony mount 10-20mm (original version) when I saw the prices rocketing up at the start of the financial situation. It was the last one at a "good" price from a major UK retailer. Even on the first day, I heard squeaks when using it in AF, which later turned out to be gear stripping. Due to the price/availability situation I decided to get a warranty repair than return it.
I contacted Sigma UK directly, who confirmed they needed to look at it and told me to send it in with various paperwork. About 3 weeks later I got the lens back, with the comments saying they replaced the gears.
