Yes, but unrelated to the lens, never had an error99 from lens fault |
What caused your error? |
Shutter Failure.
That sigma's the one I got.. its awsome, highly reccomend it.
I usually use it handheld (because I don;t have a decent tripod or monopod), and its still managable (not too heavy)
1 note tho... although its 4-6.3, according to the camera its 4-5.6, don;t know why it reports as that, but works eitherway.
the focus is very accurate and fast.
its slighly soft on the lower end (50-150mm) but still very acceptable.
but I would reccomend a 200mm zoom if thats the range you want to work in.
theres vignitting at 500mm, but not enough to complain about.
When I bought mine it came with a Sigma 2x, which disables AF, with a maximum apature of f11 at 200mm (50-100mm is disabled when the converter is plugged in)
to be honest... its pretty much the only lens I use :)

Images out of my 300 D are very soft (and darker) than Oly 5050,less burned areas.
My question is :
Did anyone experimented with shaepness/contrast/saturation settings?
Which combination gives sharp but list noisy images ? |

Hi Kosta - I have experienced the same - soft and darker than my Fuji S602Z. I found that using the AV setting has helped a great deal with the soft issue. I have changed my settings as follows:-
Parameters
Contrast +1
Sharpness +2
Color saturation +1
Color tone +1
Here a some photos I took yesterday

Maybe you are just too used to the "oversharpened" look of P&S cameras? For example, read this thread (or a plethora of any others) where one of the replies states:
understanding "sharpening" will be important with Canon dSLR's. The 300D and the more expensive 10D use the same sensor and similar DIGIC processors. By default, 10D images are "undersharpened" out of the camera, leaving it up to the user to sharpen the image to taste (based on final image size)with the supplied software. The 300D by default is more highly sharpened, but most pros seem to prefer doing the sharpening step with out-of-camera softeware. Many consider the output from P&S digitals to be "oversharpened".

i think maybe the 300d is just defaulted to sharper, as with the parameters on both cams'
the default parameter 1 on the 300d is not available -w/o customizing on the 10d
parameter 2 on the 300d simulates parameter 1 on the 10d
