Remember the Canon 50 1.8 is tiny and lightweight. The Sigma 30 1.4 is by contrast a monster (weighs the same as a Tamron 17-50)

rawrr posted:Check to see if it has front/rear focus problems (where it will focus slightly in front or behind of the target). The ring in the front has also been known to come loose after a while, although I've never really encountered that myself. Check the zoom ring doesn't have any noticeable play too - if it does its an internal screw backing out which needs to be fixed asap if you don't want more damage to occur

Turd Nelson posted:So during my trip to Europe I gave my camera to my friend for a couple shots and apparently he manhandled my tamron 17-50 so much that now the zoom ring sticks and I hear a clicking sound when i zoom from 17-24mm. Moreover, the zoom ring sticks in different places and i'm afraid to use it for fears of damaging my lens any more. It probably wasn't your friends fault anyway - it's a good bet this is what happened: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/sigma-tamron-tokina/694767-slight-play-tamron-zoom.html (yes you should definitely sop using it before its fixed) It happened to my lens, and because there is no Tamron presence in this country I took it to the only local camera repair guy who opened it up and fixed it for ~$90NZD (from memory). He said it wasn't a particularly hard repair and I probably could have done it myself but I'm so useless with fiddly things I didn't want to take the risk.
