Cleaned contacts, tried it on 3 different bodies and nothing.
Anyone have any experience with Sigma for repairs? Lens is long out of warranty.
Early days of Sigma I had an autofocus issue... seems I had somehow knocked the lens and the mechanism for focusing had jammed... I take it other lenses work ok? I sometimes get auto focus stopping on my Canon 300mm... the AF/M slider on the body is in just the right position that when handling the lens for shooting... your hands cover that button and easily slide it to "M" Worth a check...
Hope it's a simple fix...
Kind regards
