I just got the sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO Super Macro II, and for some reason it's not working. This is what I ordered exactly - //www.digitalfotoclub.com/products3/744523118.asp
Is this the wrong lens? Ugh.. I so don't want to deal with a return, but it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong. It said it would work with Canon EOS, so I assumed it would be fine.. anyone know what's up? |

What do you mean by "not working"? It's not focussing? You can't control aperture? It locks up your camera?

| Sorry! It's not letting me control the aperture at all, it has it set at 00 and it won't change. Also, it won't focus or take a shot. I can still change the iso and shutter speed. |

Some Sigma and other off-market lenses have to be re-chipped to work with newer model DSLR's. You might have to call Sigma about that.

| Thanks! I guess I'll call Sigma tomorrow morning and get it sent out. How long does the process normally take? I really need a zoom lens by November 30th and if that's not possible, I might just return it and get a different lens instead. |

Depending on how far you are from the nearest Sigma service centre I'd guess anywhere from between 10 days to a couple of weeks...
