Sigma lens repair pro#

A decent Tripod like a Manfrotto 055 pro with the legs spread wide would have helped prevent your mishap IMO. If I had spent very hard earned money on a wonderfull Sigma 800mm prime lens the first thing I would ensure is that does'nt get blown over! What makes you think Sigma is a big company?.Compared to the likes of Canon and Nikon its a very tiny company that cannot afford to spend out on a large repair networks outside Japan. I will sadly missīe at least 8+ weeks as it has to go back to Japan. I think I will be very reluctant to buy anymore Sigma equipmentĮven though they represent very good value for money when comparedĪnyway! here is a few pics done with broken lens. I couldn'tīelieve that such a big company like Sigma don't have repairĬentres throughout the world. Them and was horrified to find out the length of repair for it willīe at least 8+ weeks as it has to go back to Japan. Thanks for posting them.Īfter my Sigma 800mm got blown over while out taking seabird pics, Hope it doesn't take that long - for my sake and yours. I've seen and heard too many horror stories about 'secured' cameras that got totalled. I even leave the strap around my neck as I put my SD-10 on the tripod and make certain that it is secure.

I too have goofed - lost a camera body and lens, once. I couldn't be happier.Īs for damages caused by negligence, my only suggestion would be greater care. Sigma replaced my defective SD-10 body ASAP. Warranty issues are handled very promptly. One cannot have the price that one gets with Sigma lenses and expect the same service that companies 100x bigger give and who also charge considerably more.
