A friend got it for me overseas back in June. I had been trying to get
a copy from those vendors also.

I think the 14mm f/2.8 Sigma prime gets better reviews than the Nikon,
or very close, or better in some respects and significantly cheaper. In
this case the Sigma came years after the Nikon and Nikon now has a much
better zoom. There are other examples of pro lenses like 300/2.8 where
the Sigma performs very well for a fraction of the preposterous cost of

I have to agree Paul, I got a Sigma 12-24mm back in 2005 to use with my
D70, and other than some initial operator errors resulting in
vignetting, which I have now overcome, it has performed flawlesly ever
since on the D70 & my D300.
I have since picked up a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 which is wonderful, sharp

Most of their customers would probably not bother to research & find the
info anyways <g>. That said, when I bought my only Sigma lens from the
Calumet pro store in SF, the salesman sneered at me: 'you don't want
that lens' as I handed over $800 or so... that's their 12-24 full format
which has been one of my most used lenses and I'm quite happy with it.

I have seen one, and apparently there were a few people that bought
them. The list of issues with the SD10 was so long that it's hard to
believe anyone would have chosen that over a Canon or Nikon, but
apparently most of those customers had been using the Sigma film SLR and
wanted to continue to use their Sigma mount lenses.

No, it's not an error to try to please everyone, it's an error to
actually please everyone.
Very true. And with an 85% failure rate, if that's true, they are at
least displeasing the renter that is the last one to rent the lens when
it fails.

Thanks for the warning. In general you should avoid those third-party
lenese at all costs. There are often compatibility problems because the
lens was designed for the cameras available at the time, without any
knowledge of what future camera models with the same lens mount would be
capable of (not only mechanically, but in electronic communication

Have you ever won such a case? Have you ever won /any/ case? Is there
