and i thought i was
thanks for your warm comments
Well enough on the tech side, the composition is good and I know how hard it is to get a picture like that "done"
f8.0 ? is that another lens?
you sell camera stuff
i have a macro lens that does not work
should i i try to get it fixed or just get another one? if i should try to fix it - where should i take it?
many thanks for your help here
No, no, f8.0 is no other lens, it's merely using a smaller aperture of your main lens. You need to use the "A" Setting of your camera for that(just spin the 'wheel' ), you must know that every lens get's better to the center of it and by stopping down(that's what you call it if you make the aperture smaller) to f8.0 you'll use only the finest area of the lens, but you'll need more light too, as less light can enter the lens at once. Overall sharpness will rise that way.
Two years is a little old for that macro lens I fear. I don't believe sigma will fix it by warranty anymore. You should bring the lens to where you've bought it or you could contact sigma directly I guess. I wouldn't buy another one if the old one can be fixed. While there are better macros out there already(like the Nikkor 85mm VR) for arround $400-500, your lens still remains great in quality.
thanks again for all your help - you jusst saved me $500.00
